My name is Susanne Williamson and I have been dyeing and sewing fabrics for over 40 years.
I use specially formulated silk dyes which I steam into the fabric, which makes the colours permanent and vibrant.
Shibori, Batik, Applique, Hand-painting, and stencilling are some of the techniques I use to create my design ideas.

I have studied Fashion and Design at Nelson Polytechnic, and have attended numerous dyeing workshops.

Also, I was a regular stall holder at the Nelson Saturday Market for the last 27 years where I sold my range of hand-dyed silk scarves, aprons, visors and many other gift items. I now sell from my felt site and from my studio in Nelson.

Thank you for visiting my felt site.
