Jacquard
Jacquard woven fabrics have beautiful and intricate patterns due to its high number of hooks in the machinery. These fabrics can be used for upholstery, home textiles, décor or even apparels.
During this project, I selected Turkish art and traditional practices as my themes and inspiration of forms and styles. This includes the ebru marbling art, carpet making and the famed iznik pottery.
