Kay Chapman is an American fabric artist/clothing designer who shows her work in galleries and boutiques nationwide. She works primarily on natural fabrics: silk, linen, cotton and wool, as well as bamboo. Pattern and color are applied to the fabric using direct dye techniques, usually stretched over bars and painted with either fiber reactive or acid dyes using foam brushes. Dyes are then set by steaming. The fabric is washed and rinsed and ready to be made into the garment. Kay creates styles which flatter a woman’s body and are easy to wear.
