Class 2010 - Nov 6 Silk Painting Students

One of my silk painting students - Pru - wondered whether she could create anything interesting ... so half way through the class I asked her a couple of questions. Listen to Pru's take on silk painting:

What a fantastic day we had!! Here are some of the silk painting photos for you to enjoy :-)

Below: Creating mini silk paintings on silk Habotai with French dyes.

Below: Silk Painting on silk Habotai;  the silk is stretched on artist stretcher bars (wooden frames), carefully balanced on cans of vegetables, cat food, soup, etc - we get to see what's in your cupboard :-) to keep the wet silk up and away from the table top.

Below: To create clever little patterns on the silk chiffon scarves, use a blow dryer to halt the drying process. All kinds of wonderful designs emerge.

Heather very kindly answered a few of my questions in this quick video:

Thank you to all these wonderful ladies for a faaabulous day!

I had a great time, and it was wonderful to be able to teach you all how to paint on silk for the first time :-)

Let me know if you do any more silk painting - I'd love to hear all about it and see your photos.

Cheers

Teena!
