‘Storm’ Carole Waller handpainted multicolour silk scarf pinks

A painted silk scarf with a handrolled hem from the ‘Clouds’ collection. Crepe de chine is the perfect silk for scarves with its fluidity, drape and gentle lustre. The scarf can be washed by hand and the mix of colours includes white, pinks, purples, tomato red, oranges and soft greys.

A collection of unique painted garments by Carole Waller. The stormy Spring weather of 2024 has shown us remarkable cloud formations moving swiftly across each other and occasionally resting with dramatic contrasts of light and dark. These have been mesmerising, alarming,  fascinating in their continuous movement and restless energy. The paintings have no screenprint or narrative, just drawn line, movement and colour in an exploration of cross-currents, light and dark, change and infinity.

Carole Waller art to wear:

Each handpainted garment and scarf by Carole Waller is unique. My technique is to paint and screenprint each piece with dyes on a 4metre long table at the studio , which is just outside Bath. My fabrics are unprimed ‘canvases’ and the paintings evolve as I work, and consequently no two pieces are the same.

I also make bespoke commissions and would be delighted to work with you to create the style you prefer, in the colours and cloth of your choice. Despite the fact that I cannot colour match,  I can promise you a unique handpainted scarf. Visitors are welcome anytime, by appointment.
