The studio is founded by Leong Minyi, a Fashion Design graduate from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. Her continued passion for textiles and handcrafting, led her into the countryside of Japan in 2012 where she studied the art of traditional textile and crafts under an indigo dye master. Upon her return, Minyi's deep rooted sense of affinity with indigo dyeing and her love for the craft inspired her to establish a studio in Singapore so that she could help keep this traditional craft alive and incorporate them into the modern culture. Thus, products at Mai Textile Studio uses natural materials coupled with traditional techniques such as shibori and katazome in its design and creation.Other activities part of Heritage Makers at Peranakan Museum:Sashiko Stitching WorkshopTour: Embroidery Stitches and MotifsDemonstration: The Sulam MakersLet’s Chit-Chat: Threads That Bind---Workshop is part ofHeritage MakersSat and Sun, 11 & 12 May 202410am to 5pmFree admission to most activitiesWeave your way to the museum this weekend as we explore the art of embroidery.
