Silk fish

Description

The designs of craftswoman Andrea Castagna, who is specialised in hand-painted silk and fabric decoration, are inspired by an idea, a drawing, a writing, a colour or a texture… In order to work correctly on silk and to avoid wrinkles, Andrea Castagna Crea carries out her work very meticulously. She achieves perfect finishes by using gutta and marking the lines one by one. Gutta is made from latex and it is used as a technique to separate the applied colours in order to prevent them from getting mixed up within the design.
