Silk painting and Woollen Crafts
More Info
Silk painting has been part of my life for many years, making scarves, cushions, ties and cards.I enjoy the flow of colours on the wet silk and the effects that various techniques form on the drying silk, making the painting process and the created work a unique experience.
I am also involved in knitting, crocheting and other crafts. Making something that is different from mass produced items has always interested me as I believe that handmade objects enrich our surroundings in a very special way.
More recently I have started to combine the elegance of the silk with other elements of my crafts and the rustic feel of wood. I have also explored the colouring of the wood itself using similar techniques, painting table tops and other small items of furniture..
I offer workshops and individual tuition, usually in silk painting, crochet and knitting.
