1-person one-day Silk Painting Experience for Beginners
Come and have fun learning the relaxing and mindful art of silk painting in the peaceful setting of our Blended Monkey Studios located in the cottage gardens of our home on the Cambridgeshire/Norfolk border.
You'll make a large 90 x 90 cm scarf and also a 55 x 55 cm scarf/wall hanging, each provided with your own unique design.
In this relaxing and therapeutic silk painting session, you'll discover how to take a design of your choice (there will be a selection of designs to use if you don't want to come up with your own), trace your design on the silk using a fade pen, attach the silk to a frame with special pins, and apply gutta contouring medium to provide outlines.
Once the gutta has dried (after lunch) you'll learn how to mix various colours to create your very own palette and how to apply the paint to the silk.
We'll also touch on the use of salt techniques to add some interesting effects.
If you purchase this experience, we can send you a gift voucher in the post/or email which you can either use yourself or give to somebody else (we'll e-mail you to discuss details for the voucher once you've placed an order, as we can send you a personalised one). It would make a great, unique present!
Once you've receive your gift voucher you (or whoever has been gifted the session) can contact us to arrange a suitable date.
We also offer this workshop as a group experience on various dates throughout the year - see https://www.blendedmonkey.co.uk/category/group-workshops for more details.
