About Ray Hunt
• I started my creativity journey at the feet of my grandmother as she made love-felt quilts for family and friends. Every quilt had her stamp of love on it and most are still warming the hearts she sent them for.
• After touring a Yusen Kimono shop as an LDS missionary in Kanazawa Japan, I was struck by the beauty of the Kimono, the seemingly simple procedures caught my eye as we watched the craftsmen hand paint and dye the intricately designed Kimono and other fabrics.
• I decided I too could do Kimono with the right training, and started taking Textile Surface Design classes at Arizona State University. We learned how to Screen Print, Airbrush, Hand-painting of silk (or Yusen as I learned in Japan), and finally Shibori Tie-dyeing. My instructor, Clare Verstegan, was correct in thinking that I might like the Japanese heritage of Shibori-zome (Tie-dyeing). My first design (Mokume Shibori or wood grain) turned out very nice and set my sights on Shibori and eventually Tsuji-ga-Hana (a combination of silk painting or Yusen, and Shibori). The well controlled, but random patterns I get with the Shibori I do keeps me dyeing.
• I learned the Shibori craft from the Shibori Grandmas in Arimatsu Japan. As an apprentice in the Kuno Dye Factory, I was invited to participate in the Shibori Matsuri (Tie-dye Festival) held every year. This gave me the opportunity to market my own Hanto (Hunt in Japanese) Shibori designs. I sold T-shirts, Scarves, Kimono, and other things dyed in my color.
• To pay for my Shibori crafts in Japan, I worked as a translator, a proofreader and a graphic designer. This allowed me to polish my Photoshop and Illustrator skills as I edited photographs, created pamphlets, brochures, and photo collages, commercial storyboards, and websites etc.
• My graphic design skills helped me graduate from Collins College in Phoenix with a degree in Graphic Design and Digital Video. I found a true liking for what I can do with Illustrator and have added Strata 3D to my skills. My 2-dimensional and 3D arts have me going! I hope you will like what I have made and I will keep making more eye-catching works.
Thank you.
