Beyond the Fence with Sarah Thomas | Umoya | A creative’s journey into Shibori

What happens when an introverted artist discovers Shibori? Magic. Malharite Sarah Thomas turned her love for this ancient textile art into Umoya Designs – a thriving handmade fashion store that’s empowering women, one dye-dipped fabric at a time.

Besides her creative endeavors, her work with A Hundred Hands Trust and collaborations with fellow artists, Sarah has also been empowering women by training them in Shibori techniques – building both skills and confidence. And while she’s been busy balancing her creative soul with the demands of a fashion business, she has also earned our admiration for her artistry, purpose-driven approach, and inspiring entrepreneurial journey.

Here’s more from her heartfelt conversation with us on Beyond The Fence.
