Chinatsu Nagamune is a fine artist and expert dyer. Born and raised in Tokyo she began codo ceramics + textiles with her husband Andy. For the last 15 years, Chinatsu has been a graphic designer and slowly shifted into textile design and production.
After a long journey through India and Japan, apprenticing with many dyers, Chinatsu now occupies a studio surrounded by woods and animals in Leverett, Massachusetts.
Her focus is making objects that are used on a daily basis and sharing opportunities to appreciate the beauty of weathering and decay. She is usually inspired by her dyeing materials. Through a conversation with the materials, she decides how she wants to dye and make designs.
Chinatsu and her husband have been selling ceramics and textiles together since 2016.
