Carole Waller Handpainted Crinkle Silk Blouse

Carole Waller is a talented fine art abstract painter whose choice of medium is fiber-responsive pigment and cloth.  She has done large abstract installations, and clothing for decades.  She resides and works in her studio in Bath, England, working close to her ceramics artist husband, Gary Wood.  We’ve had a long and admiring relationship with Carole.

Carole goes through phases with her design work: she is exploring color blocks, stripes and always color in her silk and cotton clothing and accessories.

• Professionally-crinkled silk blouse

Washing instructions: The crushed effect is maintained when you wash the shirt.

Wash by hand and while still slightly damp, crush it into a round ball and tie it up tightly with string or elastic – to dry naturally. Very low maintenance.
