Using silk, bamboo \u0026amp; cotton, most of my work is functional fabric for clothing and accessories. Occasionally I stray into the world of art, weaving impressionistic landscapes or “reweaving” text to explore worldly or spiritual concepts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMost of my work is hand-dyed in a process related to the ancient art of “ikat.” White yarns are sequenced and stretched on a table where designs are dye-painted onto the unwoven yarns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe patterned yarns are blended with solid colors to create a variety of color effects, then handwoven on a floor loom. Final finishing may include sewing, hand-knotting, stitchery and\/or framing. I personally execute all details of the weaving myself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"exhibiting-since-blurb\"\u003eWebsite\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vickievippermanweavingstudio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"exhibiting-since-blurb\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003evickievippermanweavingstudio.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/piedmontcraftsmen.shop\/collections\/vickie-vipperman.oembed","provider":"Piedmont Craftsmen Craft Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
