SILK PAINTING & SHIBORI

An opportunity to try out two different, versatile textiles techniques and create two art works. Firstly you will learn how to create Shibori, a Japanese tie-dyeing technique which produces very interesting patterns. Then we will move on to painting on silk, trying traditional techniques including outline work, and using salt.

You will come away with two truly individual pieces which could be wearable art, or be incorporated into a variety of uses such as cushion making, wall hangings or over-stitching with embroidery techniques.

Please bring along an apron and disposable gloves.

The workshop runs from 10.30am until 3pm – please bring a packed lunch (no nuts).

Jan Campbell is the tutor for this textile workshop.
