Silk ‘Paper’ Creations for the Fibre Artist

The book Silk ‘Paper’ Creations for the Fibre Artist explores silk “paper” as a versatile and expressive medium in fibre art. Silk is valued for its natural sheen, translucency, and ability to absorb vibrant colour, making it especially exciting for artists.
Building on ideas introduced in Take Silk, this book expands the range of materials to include tussah silk tops, bombyx silk, and silk throwster waste. It introduces new techniques and creative approaches that push the boundaries of silk “paper” work.
Aimed at both beginners and experienced fibre artists, the book provides step-by-step guidance on working with different silk fibres. It also includes projects such as wall hangings, decorative motifs, and sculptural forms like bowls, vases, and masks—encouraging exploration of rich colour and texture through pure silk.
