SUSAN WHITE

Susan White, silk artist
www.silkbynature.co.uk​
I am captivated by silk as an art textile because of its unique characteristics and ability to create subtle colour transitions and stunning effects. In my silk art, I employ a range of techniques including wet on wet, wax batik resist, sizing, gutta resists, and dry layering alongside the effects of salt, alcohol, and diluants.
​
I use steam fix dyes or iron fix paints along with eco-dyes. Many of the eco dyes are from f
lowers, roots, and leaves found in my garden.
I use various weights and types of silk ranging from Habotai 8 to Ponge 5 and chiffon.  I also enjoy creating unique necklaces and earrings using Shibori silk ribbons, beads and my own wirework. 
​
Many of my silk scarves are made using the techniques above using frames. Some are loose acid dyed or reactive dyed and discharged then finished with the addition of a Japanese Shibori semi permanent method of folding and wrapping.
