Rob Jones, Romor Designs

London-based Romor Designs was formed in the autumn of 2015 by Rob Jones, a passionate Japanese textiles artist and tutor.

Having discovered Shibori, the ancient Japanese art of resist dyeing, at West Dean college, Rob went on to study in Japan under indigo master, Bryan Whitehead.

In 2018, Rob returned to visit his sensei in Japan to expand his Japanese textiles knowledge and immerse himself in Japanese textiles. He made a pilgrimage to Ise in the South West, home of Katagami stencilling and to meet masters of the arts of Katagami and indigo dyeing.

Rob exhibits at MADE London and MADE Brighton and Handmade in Highgate and is a Short course tutor at West Dean College where he can share his passion for Japanese textiles.

Rob works with Shibori resist, Katagami stencilling, Sashiko embroidery, Boro mending and Kogin counted thread Sashiko.
