Birgitta Engel
Painting on silk has been part of my life over many years, making scarves, cushions, ties and cards. I am also involved in knitting, crocheting and other crafts.
I enjoy the flow of the colours on the wet silk and the effects the various techniques form on the drying silk, making the painting process and the created work a unique experience.
More recently I started to make my silk designs into wall hangings combining the elegance of the silk with other elements of my crafts and the rustic feel of wood. I also explore colour on the wood itself, painting table tops and other small items of furniture.
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.
I teach Crafts and have worked in connection with Artspace Cinderford offering Silk Painting workshops.
