Helen Japes
I am a textile designer who specialises in eco printing as an alternative to the use of harsh chemicals employed in the fashion industry and their negative environmental impact. Eco printing uses traditional, natural dye knowledge in a modern application to transfer plant pigments directly on to fabric using steam.
I will be exhibiting a collection of unique silk scarves and shawls that have been individually printed and dyed by hand using locally sourced leaves, flowers, tree bark and vegetables.
WHERE TO FIND ME: You can catch Helen Japes at Catford Arts Trail 2025 - venue no. 10 - 136 Brookdale Road - SE6 4NJ
