01. THE DESIGN OF THE PIECE

The creative process begins with the study of the design idea. The motif is captured on paper and worked on until a satisfactory result is achieved.

02. THE REALIZATION OF THE TEMPLATE

Once the design is finished, we proceed to the realization of the template in real size and on paper. The objective is to transmit to the silk the freshness and the details of the design in a safe way, since it is a technique that does not admit errors.

03. THE PREPARATION OF THE SILK

With the template ready and the design studied, we prepare the silk. With delicacy, the silk is stretched to the frame and the template is placed underneath. Thanks to the semi-transparency of the silk, the creation of the drawing is faster and safer.

04. THE APPLICATION OF THE GUTA

In our workshop we have specialized in the application of the gouta technique: it is a type of pigmented resin that, by means of an applicator, allows us to achieve very defined and detailed lines. The function of the gauta is to limit the paint that is flaked by the capillary-larity of the silk, dividing it in different zones that separate the colors between them.

05. PAINTING ON SILK

The process of applying the painting is very delicate and precise; patience and concentration are necessary, since it is a process that does not admit changes or rectifications. That is why it is so important to include in the study of the design its colorimetry, in order to achieve an optimal result.

06. FIXING THE COLOR

Once the creative process of painting on silk is finished, the color is fixed to the fabric by means of thermo-fusion. The natural fixation of the pigment is accelerated by the use of steam, which is applied for three hours to the fish. The treatment of the piece ends with the ironing.

07. THE FINISHING OF THE FISH

The last step is to prepare the packaging of the fish, which is also done manually and in which all the details are taken care of. Each piece has its own packaging designed by us exclusively for each different work.

08. THE FINAL RESULT

The result of all this creative process is a hand-painted silk piece, unique and exclusive.
