‘Clouds’ Carole Waller painted cotton waistcoat

This is a straight sided loose cotton drill gilet or waistcoat with painted buttons down the front and small patch pockets. the finish is frayed cotton – which gets softer with age as you can machine wash this garment!

The colours include pinks,turquoise, peach, cream, grey dashes and orange too.

‘Clouds’ is 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 – and fascinating in their restlessness. 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.

Wash on a gentle cycle, with maximum spin,  separately in the machine and then tumble dry – hot iron.

Carole Waller art to wear:

Each garment and scarf by Carole Waller is unique. My technique is to handpaint each piece at the studio on a long horizontal table. The fabrics are like unprimed ‘canvases’ and the paintings evolve as I work, and consequently no two pieces are the same.

I also make bespoke commissions. Although I cannot colour match,  I can promise you a unique artwork. Visitors are welcome anytime, by appointment.

Waller and Wood is our gallery name from the time we had a retail space in Bath between 2015 and 2020. My studio and small showroom is now at our home 4 miles east of Bath on the A4, with good parking and a warm welcome.

The code for this piece is GS24/177
