Getting to know Morgan Silk
Where are you from?and a little bit about youOriginallyfrom Clinton, NY, moved to Buffalo for college, lived in FLA for awhile and AZtoo, now the last 27 years in Richmond, VA. Taught adolescents with learningdifferences for 20+ years, retired, still fill in once in a while for fun, butwork full time on my artwork since retirement. Used to be I had to wait untilsummer vacation rolled around.
What items do youcarry
Handpainted / dyed silk scarves in crepe de Chine and chiffon, silk neckties,sometimes I get a lingerie fix. I try to keep a variety for price points soanyone could conceivably afford them. Each is a unique signed painting donewith fiber reactive dyes, which never lose their color and don’t affect thefine hand of the silk.
How did you decide onyour shop name?
It’smy maiden name with silk attached to it!
Do you have anything new you plan on adding to your store?
