Silk with Indigo Dip 30” x 30”
Antonia Monroe is foremost a painter, with an enduring love of textiles. In a small village on the coast of Maine, Antonia designs original stencils which are printed in her studio by hand on linen, cotton, silk, and wool. She mixes natural dyes to achieve subtle variations in muted colors or fiber reactive dyes which yield intense brilliant colors.
Antonia’s collection of limited edition textiles is informed by extensive travel, research and study of historical methods and materials, primarily in India but also influenced by the study of European and Japanese textile traditions. A distinct lyrical aesthetic and love of detail permeate all Antonia Textile designs.
