Silk Paper with Nancy Ballesteros
|
Silk paper is an exciting new and unique medium for designing with silk fibres. A shimmering sheet of the silk paper is created by simply laying down unspun fibres and “gluing” them together with various adhesive mediums. Silk paper captures the intense lustre and beauty of silk fibres but it is not considered a true sheet of laid paper. Its surface texture can be manipulated in a variety of ways – scrunching, moulding, stitching etc. By experimenting with the various adhesives mediums you can learn to paint with the silk paper, use it in felting, create unique sculptural pieces or design wearable art.

|
|
On the day, you will be shown a variety of samples of different types of Silk paper and discussion on how they were made. We will then break off and create a sample of Silk paper that can be used in your own felting.

We hope you can join Nancy for an exploration into one of our favourite fibres –Silk!
