Rhyannan Hall is a Bristol-based artist who transforms traditional Japanese shibori into contemporary fine art.

With a background in costume design and global recognition—including exhibitions at the Toyama Museum and Japanese Embassy—she combines deep research and mentorship from shibori masters to create contemplative, innovative textile works.

“I loved Rhyannan’s workshop and the final outcome. She shared her passion and fascination about this amazing technique with us... lots of attention on each of us and no question left unanswered.”

“Really chill class, lovely atmosphere. Superb pieces to take away at the end. 100% would recommend and book again!”
