Nancy Pascoe

Artist Bio & Description: Port Townsend bag artisan, Nancy Pascoe, delights in creating beautifully designed and crafted pouches and purses for everyday life. She draws inspiration from the patterns and negative space of Japanese woodblock prints, vernacular Northwest architecture, and the indigo and grays of our Puget Sound waters and sky. Her process is akin to the Japanese joinery found in fine hand-built wooden buildings. Every detail is carefully thought through to create a seamless elegance. The exterior fabrics are Japanese cottons and the interior fabrics are selected to either reflect the outside or to surprise and delight. She often uses fabrics inherited from her Mother for the linings and enjoys the multi-generational aspect of seeing their fabrics together. Zippers are metal and an important part of the design. Each piece feels good and is meant to be handled and viewed from all angles. 

Studio Address: 816 Calhoun Street, Port Townsend, WA 98368 United States
