Introduction to Painting on Silk with Dyes and Resists<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Beginning and Intermediate Classes available<\/strong><\/p>\n

This workshop is an introduction to painting on silk using French Dyes that are bold, vibrant, flowing dyes that are super fun and easy to work with. \"\"Using resist and watercolor painting techniques, we will have fun designing and creating images on silk. Whether creating silk scarves, wall-hangings, or fabric for home d\u00e9cor or art quilts, this workshop will leave you inspired as you merge your love of painting, color, and fabric (silk) to create luminous beauty of your own. The full process will be explored in this workshop including how to lay-out designs and resist, using materials like salt and alcohol to create special effects, the process of steam-setting the dye, final washing and drying. Karel has been painting on silk for 15 years and enjoys sharing this rare and fun medium with others.<\/p>\n

Creating Luminous Landscapes with Silk<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Create a beautiful landscape collage or art quilt with this workshop using hand-dyed silk \"\"and fusing a variety of fabrics to assemble a vivid scene. The workshop will begin with an introduction to dying silk with Colorhue dyes, to create the background (sky, water, foliage etc.) Using your own dyed silk, you will be guided on how to best use the colors in the silk to create a landscape, a vanishing point, a source of light, and directional shadows. From there, layering silks, fabrics, and other fiber on top and fusing it together to create a collage landscape. Finish with painting highlights, shadows, details, and texture in last to give the landscape depth and dimension. The finished product is a fused collage that can be framed as is or quilted to add more texture, design, and detail.<\/p>\n

Workshop is 5 hours
\nall materials included
\n12 students maximum<\/p>\n

Silk Painting With Children<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Karel has taught private lessons in homes and at public places such as churches, schools, \"\"and camps. Children learn about silk, where it comes from, and how it is made. Then they get to paint the silk and create special effects with salt, rubbing alcohol, and sugar. They can work together on a community banner or do their own individual painting. The collaborative projects help them work together and interact and learn from each other. Silk-painting is a little like coloring in a coloring book, but with watercolor brushes and dyes instead. It is accessible and enjoyable for all ages. The dyes are non-toxic and safe for children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
