Wearable Art

What is wearable art?  Our definition is unique one of a kind garments, designed and made by the textile artists.  Perhaps there is some help along the process to complete the work, but solely directed by the textile artist.  We feel that jewellery also falls into this category, as do accessories, such as hats and handbags.  Many of the artists participating in Just for Us Originals also dye their own materials.  The weavers most often hand paint their warps.  So the process is much the same as a fine artist painting on canvas, but the textile artist is dyeing on yarns instead. All the same disciplines and theories must be considered, such as colour, value, and proportion.
