Silk Painting

Discover silk painting inspired by textures in nature in this hands-on workshop. Learn techniques using heat set dyes through scrunching with salt, cracking with sugar syrup, gutta and cold wax on freezer paper, botanical plant stamping, wet-on wet, wet-on dry, water droplets, and shibori techniques including pole wrapping and elastic bands.

After sampling, you will create a final silk scarf using your favourite technique, drawing from the textures, colours and prints you have created inspired by the botanical world. Handouts will be provided, including materials and instructions.

Workshop attendees can attend an exclusive curator talk and exhibition tour of Annemieke Mein: Nature Revealed at Whitehorse Artspace.
