Jacob Monk: Blue Jay

Jacob Monk
Jacob Monk is a hand-weaver and textile artist, having trained at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design. He now works from his studio in South East London.

​Influenced by the ancient technique of ikat - the process of creating a pattern by binding and dyeing the warp yarns before weaving. Jacob uses a range of rich and vibrant colours in different proportions, often inspired by nature, such as tropical plants and exotic birds. He combines ikat with other dip dyeing techniques to produce something truly original. Creating the design this way shows a sense of sporadic movement as colours change, giving the finished piece a hand-painted look.

Celebrating the history and craftsmanship that goes into making an ikat fabric whilst also breaking away from tradition to give a fresh and contemporary look.
