There’s nothing quite like painting on silk. In this hands-on, adult workshop, artist Phyllis Boger will guide participants through her signature process of creating watercolor-inspired landscapes on silk, using a spray resist to control the flow of vibrant dyes across stretched fabric. The result? Bold, luminous color that bursts with energy—and endless creative possibility.
Each participant will create a wearable or display-ready piece of silk art—perfect as a scarf, wall hanging, or one-of-a-kind gift. No prior experience is necessary; this workshop welcomes all skill levels and is designed to inspire play, exploration, and creativity.
Phyllis Boger has been painting on silk and cotton since the 1980s, first inspired by batiked fabrics brought home by her aunt during her foreign service travels. She has exhibited and taught in New England, the Chicago area, and Italy, and now shares her expertise in the Mid-South. Phyllis holds a BFA from Barat College, an art education degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and an MFA from Western Connecticut State University.
All materials are provided. Space is limited—register early to secure your spot and take home a beautiful piece of art you can wear or display.
