Silk Scarf Painting
Create a one of a kind painted silk scarf! Silk painting is like a combination of watercolor and batik, working with a resist and dyes that flow on the material to create amazing creations. The scarves are then steamed to set the dye and they become beautiful, wearable pieces of art. This is a relaxing class that can be enjoyed by all. You do not need to have prior painting experience to create a beautiful piece.
