Slowstitch Studio is a Chiang Mai–based textile studio creating contemporary pieces through time-honored techniques.

 

Most of our work is rooted in shibori, the ancient Japanese art of stitch-resist dyeing. Each piece begins with lines or templates sketched across the cloth. We stitch along these guides, bind the fabric tight and dye it. After dyeing comes the revelation, slowly unstitching to discover what has emerged. The outcome is never entirely predictable—soft-edged motifs, subtle shifts in color, patterns that hold their own gentle rhythm.

 

Pattern is a visual language. Its abstraction draws us in through something deeper than description. In the patterns we create, we reveal how we see beauty, how we seek balance, how we make sense of the world. The irregular rhythm of hand-stitched lines, the unpredictable bloom of dye, the imperfect symmetries that emerge—all express our human need to find order within chaos.

 

This is our response to the fast-paced world — work that values care, attentiveness and the quiet strength found in imperfection. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, shaped by the hands that made it and the process that brought it into being.
