Susho Specialties
Double-sided
Some of the most stunning Susho (刺绣 Ci Xiu) made is double-sided. Generally, Susho is finished on one side and has knots on the other. The Grand Master Artists of the House of Zhang create works that are completely finished on both sides, the knots carefully hidden in the stitches rendering them invisible.
There are three categories of double-sided Susho: the same patterns and colors on both sides, the same patterns with different colors on each side, and different patterns with different colors on each side. Only the most talented and experienced silk artists can create these complicated works of art. These masterworks require a patient heart and skillful hands to synchronize both sides in harmony.

Fine Art Reproductions
Susho is the perfect medium to recreate many fine artworks. Due to the high resolution, three dimensional nature of finely stitched silk artwork, Susho captures certain aesthetic aspects of original oil paintings, impossible in any print. Our solid silk thread is a stunning medium to recreate the distinctive brush strokes used by Van Gogh, and our silken metallic thread hauntingly echoes the shimmer of Klimt’s gold leaf originals. Please enjoy some of our favorite reproductions. If you would like to discuss having us recreate one of your favorites, please contact us directly.

Chinese Contemporary Art
Contemporary Art is enormously popular in China. There is a relatively new movement among Chinese contemporary artists to combine the realism of Western artistic techniques with the classical style and themes of traditional Chinese painting. Susho recreations of famous works are in great demand in China and have been gaining attention world-wide.
