Every now and then we like to have A WEEK OF... giving us a chance to concentrate on a particular aspect of our art practise, or in fact our respective businesses (being a penniless artist might sound romantic, but really one has to be self supporting.) This week we are combining both areas and having a A WEEK OF SILK & WOOL. This is a great opportunity for us to rake through our every increasing stashes of silk and wool (it seems to self generate - I am sure we didn't have this much last time we did this) and work on something a bit different, perhaps an inspirational piece, or some things for the shop. Anything to reduce the size/number of the boxes.
Most of the time we work in quilters' cotton, but occasionally you just get a hankering for a bit of texture. To this end we have also included linen, heavy cottons, and of course hand-dyes, indigo, tweedy checks and tartans.
Now the fun begins - pressing, cutting and making. We'll be posting throughout the week to show you our progress!
