Jacob Monk studied Textile Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, specialising in woven textiles. He chose a course where he learned to knit, print and weave before specialising in one discipline. “I was most excited to use the looms as they looked like ancient pieces of equipment that I had never seen before. I continued to explore and develop my craft after graduating with a focus on Ikat, which is the process of creating a pattern through the dyeing of the warp yarns before they are put onto the loom and woven.” Creating the design in the warp gives a sense of movement vertically as colours change, merging into each other, and finished pieces have an almost hand-painted look to them.
