The Making
Craft Philosophy
Silk has played a central role in Chinese textile culture for thousands of years. Through weaving, tapestry, dyeing, painting and other techniques, artisans transform silk into richly textured fabrics and artistic objects. Chinese silk production can be traced to the Neolithic period and developed increasingly sophisticated structures and patterns over successive dynasties.
