Yao’s Tea Towels make thoughtful gifts for your friends and family.
They are each printed and handmade here in USA.
Not only that, but they are printed with dye, which means they will keep their luminous colors for years to come in your kitchen!
Yao’s ideas can spark from a feeling, a song or a bright color.
They are then relentlessly explored on paper. Many are misses, but a few gems always emerge.
This process is not seen in the finished work but is the story.
Yao Cheng believes that art can be a dynamic part of our everyday living.
Her designs will inspire others to see art as more than just a picture on a wall.
