ARTWORKS

The Atis Fanm (Kreyol for Women Artists) draw their designs on white, 100% silk scarves with a clear liquid resist. Non-toxic silk paints are then brushed between the lines.

Afterward the colors are heat set with old-fashioned irons fueled with charcoal. The resist is washed out in the community stream, leaving a clean, white line separating fields of color.

Because the images are drawn and painted by hand, no two are exactly alike. Given the nature of the process, small imperfections add to the character of every piece, each of which is signed by the artist who paints them.
