ARTWORKS

The Atis Fanm (Kreyol for Women Artists) draw their designs on white, 100% silk scarves with a clear liquid resist. Non-toxic silk paints are then brushed between the lines.

Afterward the colors are heat set with old-fashioned irons fueled with charcoal. The resist is washed out in the community stream, leaving a clean, white line separating fields of color.

Because the images are drawn and painted by hand, no two are exactly alike. Given the nature of the process, small imperfections add to the character of every piece, each of which is signed by the artist who paints them.

Silk Scarves Available from the Atis Fanm

Dear wonderful customers, This month we have been surprised by an unprecedented amount of orders for scarves and we are honored and delighted by your support and patience. As many of you know, we carry the raw materials to Matenwa by hand, the artists create all their designs by hand, and we carried the finished work back, by hand, for you. And, thanks to you we have, for the first time in 14 years, almost run out of scarves! The painters have since received  more materials  and fresh scarves will be brought back by the end of February. Until then please take the time to look at our images and order for a spring delivery. for information and orders, please contact: mariebroudy@yahoo.com
