Meet the Artist
Melissa and Thomas are textile designers and ceramists. They started their journey in natural indigo dyeing, shibori, batik and Japanese raku pottery during their world travels to Bali a few years ago. Today, they run their own studio in Majorca hand painting vintage linen to make bed covers, blankets, lamps & pillow cushions; making shibori scarves and ceramic products. They say their style is irregular, a bit worn down and imperfect evoking the colors and textures of the Majorcan island. Is it possible that they find this inspiration when they go riding their motorcycle through the Serra Tramuntana mountain range, exploring countryside pueblos or swimming in a cove that’s 14 different colors of blue & green? You’ll find out yourself when you meet them.
