The white stripes on this indigo-dyed piece are made by sewing the cloth into gathered rows before dyeing it. Susan Bosence learnt hand printing and dyeing techniques from the textile artists Phyllis Barron and Dorothy Larcher. During the 1950s she developed her own fabrics for clothing and domestic use. From the 1960s she taught textile printing.
