岡田 歩Ayumi Okada 

 textile flower artist

Ever since I can remember,

I have loved arts and crafts and felt happiness every time I could create something using fabrics, thread and paper. 

 

I majored in textiles at university in Japan, and after graduating, I studied traditional flower- making techniques. 

 

 

In 2004, I started creating floral-works.
Since then, I have been commissioned by individuals, companies, and organizations to create flowers. And I have continued to improve my creative techniques for more than 25 years. 

 

Roses, irises, lilies, wild flowers, and many others..., I have come to create distinctive creations of flowers as my quintessence. 

 

​ 

Each petal of my work is created from white fabric. 

 

The entire process is done by hand, from pattern making to cutting fabric, dyeing, shaping..., and so forth. My floral-works are created with many elaborate techniques passed down through the generations of craft specialists.
