Silk Studio Class
Silk Studio:
You love the look & feel of silk; now enjoy creating with this
amazing fabric. A variety of silks will be used, from Charmeuse
to Organza. You will learn which techniques to use for precise
control, and others that are best for texture, surprises and color.
From painting to dyeing, soy wax and silkscreening, this is a chance
to try it all!
Paint, Print & Enhance:
Layers of painting and printing create amazing depth
and intrigue. From creating background textures to
detailed imagery, you will learn to mix colors, create
dynamic combinations, and techniques that enhance
your imagery.
Techniques include silkscreen printing, painting and dyeing.
Landscapes!
We have all been influenced by nature's beauty. Capture that awesomeness
in all its rich colors using paint on fabric. From metallic to transparent paints and
mediums to thickeners, learn how to achieve outstanding results.
We'll spend time practicing, then focus on creating imagery from nature.
Wear it with Flair!
Love to show your artful flair, but not interested
in sewing the whole garment? Print and paint on finished clothing!
This was printed, painted and outlined on a silk skirt and blouse.
Learn the techniques on fabric, then progress to adding design
and color to your garment. Light colored garments allow a wider range
of colors, so keep this in mind when choosing what to bring.
Dark colors will require opaque and metallic paints.
This tunic has amazing embroidery, but needed another layer to soften it.
A simple leaf screen was added next to the beading, and around the bottom of the sleeves.

I have also found this process a lifesaver for garments that I love, but
have a flaw or stain.
