Silk Painting Workshop - Wearable Art Scarf or Tie
$120.00
This workshop aims to show you how to use your love of watercolour in new ways to create timeless silk wearables. While it would be helpful to have a basic understanding of watercolour this is not a requirement as we will help you through each step of the process. We will focus on free-form painting in this session (not spending a lot of time on batik or gutta resist but we will discuss these as well) - this means you will likely be creating stunning colours and flowing abstract effects in the session. However, if you would like to dedicate time to learning how to draw pictures and lines on silk please reach out to us for a private booking instead!
We will cover how to prepare your silk by stretching it onto a frame, and discuss different techniques or mediums you can use to achieve different effects. You will get a choice of either a silk tie or silk scarf to paint - perfect for a unique item to add to your wardrobe or as a gift for a special someone! The techniques in our session can also be applied to painting on silk fabric which can be turned into a wall hanging or framed mounted canvas artwork as well if you so choose.
This workshop will include a take home kit of:
Case
Silk Scarf or Tie (painted by you!)
