Devoré
✨
Originating in France as a cheap alternative to lace before being commercially developed in Lyon, Devoré is a process by which fibres in fabric are chemically burnt out. Through the use of mixed fibre fabrics (cellulose/protein, viscose/silk) patterns are created where the fibres are removed.
✨
Usually used on velvets to remove the tufted threads the application of Devoré on satins removes either the warp or weft leaving behind the other and revealing a pattern in its absence. The caustic paste is applied to the fabric and then heated to begin the chemical reaction, burning away the cellulose fibre in my work leaving behind the silk thread.
Katazome resist dyeing
✨
Katazome is a traditional Japanese resist dyeing technique often utilised in the production of Kimono where a rice paste is applied to the fabric through a stencil before pigment is added through hand painting, immersion dyeing or both
✨
In my application of the technique I use my stencil loosely to add an element of variation in the design through the stringing of the paste as the stencil is removed
