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.
I have recently 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.
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. In connection with Artspace Cinderford I used to offer Silk Painting workshops, and we will have to see when this will be possible again.
