Silk Scapes
Welcome to my online shop. My name is Helen Moon. I am a silk painter and textile Artist from the Adelaide Hills. In 1986 I started my journey with silk painting. Since then I have been using various techniques such as, hand painting, immersion dying, shibori/tie-dye method, printing, indigo, rusting and soy wax resists to bring colour and design onto white silk. I also do nuno felting, I make scarves, clothing, fabric, cards and wall pieces.
I run silk painting workshops around Adelaide and from my studio at home.
You can also find my work in T'arts Collective in Gays Arcade, Adelaide Arcade, Bamfurlong Fine Crafts in Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills, Pepper Street Art Gallery in Magill, Stationmasters Art Gallery in Strathalbyn, Murray Bridge Regional Gallery and Urban Cow Studios in Adelaide.
Work Shops
Currently I am giving silk painting workshops at Pepper Street Art Centre, Murray Bridge Regional Gallery and at Stationmasters Art Gallery in Strathalbyn. I also do silk painting classes for small groups out of my studio at home.
Silk painting is all about colour, playing with the blending and the movement of colour, the endless possibilities, and experimenting with different techniques to produce beautiful scarves to wear, or as gifts.
