EMI FUJISAWA

Emi takes great interest in the study of traditional textiles, techniques and materials from around the globe.

She loves to explore different countries and find traditional materials, techniques and ideas.

She has developed her own style to express her art which is based in a Japanese identity with European influences.

Emi's journey started with her wish to make her own fabrics. She researched all the steps needed to arrive to a finished product, starting from the natural raw materials - and the weaving. Today she designs her weaving with inspiration from traditional techniques and elements from nature - Emi explores the passage of time through textiles.  

Weaving with copper yarns is one of  Emi's unique skills. She has created special weavings with copper and natural dyed silk yarns.

Strongly influenced by traditional textiles and techniques that introduced Emi into the world of natural dyeing, she has researched, experimented and developed several different techniques of natural dyeing and created her own colour palettes only using natural dyes. Like mixing paints, she can make colours with her own special recipes. ​All of her textiles are made using silk yarns which are afterwards dyed with natural dyes from her own recipes.
