Hi, my name is Nicole. I am a retired Travel Agent with a serious passion for creating beautiful hand-made products using natural fibres and incorporating up-cycled materials.I developed a fascination for Japanese Arts & Crafts in my early twenties when I first worked with Japanese tourists and visited Japan. In 2019 I qualified as an Ikebana teacher (Japanese art of flower arranging - Sogetsu School) still attending classes and workshops on a regular basis, having recently obtained my 3rd grade teachers diploma.My creative passion has also incorporated a dab in pottery to make my own Ikebana vases and designing and carving stamps to print my own unique patterns incorporating some of our local flower and fauna, having attended a workshop in October 2024 with Rowan Sivyer, the queen of Modern Block Printing and learning new techniques.Having attended various Boro & Sashiko workshops as well as having travelled through Japan on a textile tour in December 2018 I learned more about Boro, Sashiko and various other embroidery techniques such as Kogin and Chiku Chiku not to mention Indigo Shibori dying. I refreshed my knowledge on all of the above during a hands on craft tour of Hobard in August 2024.I love sharing my knowledge and hold regular workshops in my Studio, situated on the Mezzanine Level of an Industrial Shed (stairs, no lift available) in Sumner Park.
