Silk paper workshop - 13 April

A group of members met to learn about silk paper, how to make it and how to embellish it. We spread all our equipment over the work tables which made it easy to share - both equipment and ideas.


Once the silk tops had been laid down a number of boxes were set out containing items which could be incorporated in the silk paper: dried leaves and flowers, feathers, threads, net ... anything, really.  


We spent some time experimenting with different ideas and techniques and then took our work over to the drying area.


It was a warm sunny day so the paper dried quite quickly but in the meantime Belinda demonstrated how gummy silk fibres could be ironed onto a wooden printing block, resulting in silk just crying out for further embellishment.


The work was excellent and everyone had some silk paper to take home - we look forward to seeing it at our next meeting!
