Hand painted silk

In September I celebrated 21 years in business producing my range of vibrant hand painted silk scarves and ties. Everyone came wearing a piece of my work (or more than one) as you can see from the photo below. It was a lovely weekend and I am still enjoying looking at all the smiley faces in the photos. If you would like to be invited to any future events, please do e-mail me and I will add you to my list.



The technique I have specialised in is a monoprint method of hand painting which I experimented with and developed at college. Each piece is painted individually but, unlike other methods of hand painting, this technique allows me the freedom to achieve a paint-brush mark. This, I think, typifies all of my designs which are controlled yet painterly.

Source material for designs varies tremendously from the work of artists such as Hundertwasser, Klimt and Klee to celtic patterning and illuminated manuscripts or more simply flowers from my garden. Over the years I have produced special designs for bodies such as The National Trust, Yorkshire Dales National Park, Lady Lever Art Gallery and The Walker Art Gallery.

I am a member of The Art and Craft Guild of Lancashire, Made in Lancashire and have my studio, which is open to the public, at Cedar Farm in Mawdesley, Lancashire L40 3SY
I will be exhibiting at the British Craft Trade Fair.

Hope you have fun looking at my designs!
