Part 2 Hermes Festival des Metiers London Saatchi Gallery

This exhibition was unusual from the other exhibits that I had seen from Hermes in that it illustrated so many different crafts.  
This was the first time I had seen silk scarf screen printing.
Aren't these scarves hanging lovely as installation art?
The silk screen artisan plus one of the managers at the Lyon based silk press was there to present one of the silk screen sessions 
that take place 4 times a day.
These strips of scarves that didn't make the grade was hanging from the table.  I wanted to stitch them all back together.
This tasseled look could work for my bed.
They rolled out the silk that is made from Brazilian silk worms.
They set the silk properly and tightly with no air bubbles underneath to ensure a smooth print.
