King Silk Art WA State Fair, Puyallup • Through 9/20
100% handmade Suzhou silk art • 2,200 years of history • Custom pet portraits King Silk Art is a family business.

Over 2200 years ago, the 1st Emperor of China selected 11 families to be his imperial embroiders. He placed these families in a village, on the southeast coast of China, called Suzhou. Until the end of imperial China in the 20th century, the descendants of these families created hand-stitched silk embroidery for the aristocracy of China. This extraordinary form of artwork still uses the same resources and techniques the family has developed over the centuries. Our processes have changed very little, we make our own silk, dye, spin and weave it by hand. Our artists use nothing but silk thread and needles to create Susho, every stitch is by hand. The Zhang family, descendents of one of the first families, still creates Susho in Suzhou. In 2004, Forest Qing Zhang introduced Susho to North America and received an amazing welcome. Today, the Zhang family is paving a new silk road with our Susho collecting new collectors from all over the world.

Entirely handcrafted in silk, one strand at a time.

Silk captures softness, texture, and light with remarkable realism. As the light changes, the artwork reveals a depth and beauty no photograph can fully capture.

SUZHOU SILK ART

For more than 2,000 years, Suzhou has carried the art of silk forward.

Thread by thread, thousands of finely divided silk strands are layered by hand until light, depth, and life begin to appear.

Each artwork is a patient work of human hands—and a tradition carried from one generation to the next.
