This two-day workshop is perfect for creating unique holiday gifts or for students looking to express themselves in a new medium. The instructor, Clara Johnson, is an experienced painter and her teaching style is about freedom of expression. The class will begin with examples of silk painting, talking through the process, and a demonstration of the Serti painting technique. Using resist, students will be able to create free flowing designs on their silk scarf. One square silk scarf is included. Green label jacquard dyes are provided for painting, and the instructor will demonstrate how to set the dye in a chemical bath once the painting is complete. Students are encouraged to bring their ideas to class, and the instructor will work with you to make your ideas a reality.
