Workshop Introduction to silk painting Tuesdays 12.30 - 1.30 22nd September

🌸 Introduction to Silk Painting for Beginners

Silk painting is a vibrant, expressive art form where colour flows, blends, and transforms on fabric in ways no other medium can match. This beginner‑friendly course is designed to guide you through the fundamentals — from preparing your silk to mastering the movement of dyes — so you can create beautiful, personal artwork with confidence.

What You’ll Learn

• Foundational techniques — stretching silk, applying resist, mixing dyes, and controlling colour flow.
• Essential tools — an overview of frames, brushes, dyes, and beginner‑friendly materials.
• Colour behaviour — how silk absorbs and spreads pigment, and how to use that to your advantage.
• Simple starter projects — scarves, abstract panels, and small decorative pieces.
• Finishing and fixing — steaming, heat‑setting, and caring for your finished work.
