Silk Scarf Painting

Feeling the heat yet? Tropicals in fashion are hot right now. Join us and paint your own silk scarf inspired by the Tropicals of South Florida. The class will start with an introduction to silk painting history and facts. After picking a design, the students will measure and draw the patterns onto the silk scarf, which will then be stretched onto frames. Students will learn how to layout, draw, and use silk painting techniques, do’s and don’ts and finally adapt them to successfully execute a completed silk scarf.

You will need to purchase a few materials to do this workshop, they are listed on the right side. Once you register, you will receive a list with links where you can order them.
