Welcome to Designer Silk
As a designer/maker I am passionate
about individually designed and crafted things, whether they are
beautiful works of art or functional items such as clothing, or perhaps
both. I love experimenting with new ideas and techniques and pushing the
boundaries of traditional silk painting. Inspiration can take on many
wonderful and diverse forms, I find, for whilst living in the country most of
my creativity has its origins in natural forms or patterns, however, it is also
present in the industrial skylines of nearby Stoke-on-Trent, home to the
Pottery Industry, or a company logo which can be painted on a tie or
scarf! An increasing part of my work is by commission, interpreting
clients own ideas to produce bespoke designs or painting one of my existing
designs in colours to order but I still love to let my creativity wander to
come up with new designs and colours.
On-line
Shop ...... Stop Press!! Designer Silk now has a shop on Folksy where
you can purchase items directly for that special present. Follow http://folksy.com/shops/DesignerSilk to take a peek at

Last year The Wedgwood Museum has
commissioned me to paint two designs: English Roses and Clarice Cliff’s Age of
Jazz, onto scarves, spectacle and mobile cases.
This commission was and continues to be an absolute joy and the scarves
and cases are now for sale exclusively in the Wedgwood Museum shop, Barlaston, Stoke-on-Trent.
