About

Black Cockatoo Textiles is a result of much travel, and meeting creative people who are striving to keep their traditional crafts alive in a fast changing world. Buying directly from Artisans is/was one of the joys of my travels. I love to support and buy directly from crafstmen and women as much as possible, always looking for great designs and quality workmanship. 

The textiles sourced represent a long history of skills in block printing, hand weaving, natural dyes, appliqué cut work and embroidery. These are pieces made with pride and a shared inter-generational skill set that is at risk of disappearing as the lure of higher paid jobs is a necessity for many.

UPDATE - Since Covid has hit around the world suspending travel, I have been using much of my fabrics for mask making, until it’s safe to travel again.
