Each participant will complete a circle of silk, pre-mounted in an embroidery hoop, ready for display. and complete a finely painted silk scarf.
Silk paintings are created on white silk. The dyes are painted onto the stretched surface of the silk using a paintbrush and other tools. The dyes flow into the fiber and bond with the proteins, becoming a part of the silk thread. This is different than oil, acrylic or watercolor paints which sit on the surface of the piece. We will be using fabric dyes for this class, so please dress in appropriate clothing.
