Central Saint Martins trained designer Emma D'Arcey has developed her own innovative techniques to create truly unique hand-marbled silk fabrics and textile art pieces. For each individual piece, layers of paint are carefully applied onto a thickened watery gel and painstakingly manipulated by hand into the desired design. Then exclusive silks such as crepe de chine and duchess satin are laid on top of the gel, effectively absorbing the design and resulting in a visually stunning mix of patterns and colours rarely achievable using more conventional methods. As well as having her own exclusive range of products for fashion and interiors, which includes cushions, lampshades, scarves, wraps, photograph albums and notebooks, Emma is also happy to work on commissions.
