Motif Textiles

Motif Textiles was founded by designer Sarah Michaels, B.Des. in 2013. Motif's works include original creations for home decor, kitchen linens, and baby wear, as well as commissionable pieces. All of Motif's works are produced as environmentally-friendly as possible, where natural fibres are used with water-based inks and weak acid dyes. Statement Graduating from OCAD University in Material Art and Design, I specialize in unique textile pieces, combining drawing and painterly techniques with silk-screening and dyeing. With a background in fine art and photography, I can produce original and commissionable artwork. With technical training in various paint and drawing mediums, print and paper-making, as well as woodwork, ceramics and metalwork, my work ranges from abstract to antique-inspired.
