JG SWITZER Travels to bring you Treasures Introducing the Voyager Collection, New Summer 2020https://www.hakone-tenyu.com/en-gb KYOTO KIMONO Fabrics Last December we visited an esteemed Kimono fabric dealer in Kyoto and selected the most exquisite fabrics for you. From a remote area of Hyogo prefecture and in the tradition of Tanba cloth, this Kimono- cloth fabric is spun using a traditional spinning wheel, leaving tiny bits of shell and leaf original to the cotton seeds remaining in the fabric.  “Now Voyager, Sail Forth,  To seek and find.” -Walt Whitman

Wool Textiles Designed & Milled In-House at the JG SWITZER Workshop We design, mill, and sew every piece. Our workshop is located in The Barlow, a maker space in West Sonoma County, an hour north of San Francisco.   We begin with locally-sourced wool from Fibershed-certified wool, fibers/natural dyes, & labor sourced in our Northern California fibershed. These bioregional textiles function hand-in-hand with principles of ecological balance, local economies, and regional organic agriculture.    EVERYTHING STARTS WITH A CANVAS Our canvas is locally farmed Dorset and Suffolk wool from Bodega Bay.   PAINTING WITH WOOL We paint with wool using "oil pigments"...
