Revolutionary Fur Fashion By Bethany Schryburt Paula Lishman, a textile artist, has put Blackstock on the map, internationally, with her unique method of fur fashion. Experiments with fur led her to develop a f ashion that sheds wind or water like a thatched roof, yet breathes. The material is soft, stretchy and supple. t fits the form of whoever wears it, almost to become a second skin. There have been requests for Paula's product sent to Japan, Germany, New York and California. Paula's textile background goes back to her single days when she studied weaving at Balles Art School in Mexico. Esther Bryant in Oshawa taught Paula the skills of vegetable dying and spinning. When the Lishman's lived in Brougham, Paula's talent was put to use, silk-screening 3,500 t-shirts with "Ban the Air- port" emblems, to selI as political protests. In Black- sto ck Paula began making several items with leather for her family, jackets, pants, sandals, and hats. t wasn't long before her mind started clicking that something warm, soft and practical could be used on the fashion market. In January of 1978, a friend suggested at the last minute that she fi a vacant spot at an, International Boutique Show in New York. From there it was on to Germany where she was represented by Kuretzky of Toronto and received orders from a Japanese company. It's been up, up and ,away since that time and on her own. With the help of some professional dancers an mbn- vative dance routine was composed to present fashion the articles made by Paula. The show was performed in Toronto at the World of 'Women Show in September and then again at Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City. The Quebec City show announced the Grand Opening of a shop in that city carrying exclusively the Lishman and Associates Ltd. line of art and fashion. Bill designed a special 'logo' for, package design which Paula mfodels a fur fashion behind the Lishman home on Purpie Hill. InI OSA ACNRE-7317 resembles a skin marked for strip-cutting. The skins of mink, skunk, wolf, sheep, ,Australian posum, beaver, nutria (South American Beaver), racoon, rabbit. muskrat, Mongolian lamb and rox are some of the skins sent to the area cutters. After the skin is cut in a coninuous strip it is returned to Paula's shop on Purpie Hill for a patented process of strengthening. Then the knitters or weavers take over and as a last step leather edging or buttons and zippers are attached where leeded. The product is then slipped into a cl assy ianbleached cotton bag which ,as undergone the silk- screening process to display the 'logo'. The Cottage Industry has grown over the past year to include fifteen full time workers with five more train- ed and ready for a rush job. The busy season will begin again in March or April when orders will be taken for the fal of 1979. Paula is able to take advantage of a 500 hour training pcriod which is subsi- dized by Manpower. If the orders continue to mount at Professional Dancer engaged in "Wind, Rain, Fire show, held in Toronto and Quebec City. the speed of the past year Paula wiIl soon have to epn a larger site, but at Povnc present the attic over the r v' c t comfortable for the job well done.
