Our Story

"Filling the world with rivers of silk......." Michelle Miller Silk Designs (Margaret River, Western Australia) was created  from the desire to make beautifully hand crafted textiles that delight the senses of both sight and touch. They are "Art Works" that are to be viewed as well as worn, to become important and uplifting element of ones everyday existence. They have their own creative soul. The silks chosen are fine, yet strong, and have the incredible ability to move with grace. The lustre is most seductive and the viewer cannot help but submit to the urge to touch. The lightness in quality allows the play of light from any direction and creates a greater luminosity in the colours used. Years of colour play have culminated in the joyous and enchanting experimentation of colour depth and combinations. This is one of the most flexible elements within the process allowing incredible exploration of the creative response.

Let your eyes enjoy the play of line and colour. The design process is somewhat "Zen" with each piece being born within the mind of the artist before it is executed. The work is often spontaneous and exploratory. Every piece with its own identity, lines and shapes, creating a life of its own. Enjoy and appreciate the quality of a hand crafted item that is truly unique. Remember, as you view this piece of fine craft, that it is the result of accumulated knowledge and experimentation. It bears the experience of the successes and failures within the studio and it represents just one point in the growing continuum expression of energy and soul.
