Introduction to Silk Painting One-day Workshop

Learn the basic steps of hand-painting on silk using resist and
steam set dyes. Hand painted silk is a wonderful, colourful medium
that allows you to create art you can wear, decorate with, or simply admire! In this workshop, you can expect to create a a small,
greeting card sized sample as well as a larger 14"x14" square that
can be framed or is perfect for a decorative cushion cover. I will
share my knowledge of the medium and process based on my 20+ years working with silk and dyes.

Next Workshop: Saturday, March 17, 2012 (2 spaces available)
Workshops run from 9:30am-4pm.
Fee: $90 for the day (all materials included)

Introduction to Pet Portraits in Coloured Pencil

this three-session workshop, shading and textural techniques will be explored before participants commence work on a portrait of their
own pet.

A specific supply list will be provided prior to the workshop. Participants will be responsible for purchasing their supplies in advance.
