Techniques

New Mexico Silk Painters Guild members use various materials and techniques to turn cloth into art. Salt, alcohol and sugar are among the list of houshold supplies we manipulate to create textural effects on the painted surface. Embossing or etching silk velvet, silk screening, stamping, stenciling of resists or thickened dye, discharge dyeing to lighten or subtract color, immersion dyeing plus various batik and shibori techniques are just a few creative methods we use in our search for personal expression in painting and dying cloth.
