I teach both silk painting classes and floral arrangement. Please choose from my scheduled classes below, or create your own workshop in silk painting or floral arrangement. I can work with groups of different ages and backgrounds at a location and time that is convenient to you. No matter what you choose, everyone goes home with beautiful examples of their own work!
View www.glenechopark.org for schedule of my classes there.
My goal is to teach the basic silk painting techniques. During this workshop the participants paint 7 technical pieces 12x12, all hands on. Once the students experience the drama of the “strike”, when the dyes hit the dry silk, they have an Aha! Moment. The students become excited and invigorated.
Welcome to the world of SILK PAINTING! Leave your cares at the door, bring a friend, and step into a creative atmosphere! This is your opportunity to unwind and express yourself as we guide you through this incredible art form. The workshop is taught with dyes or liquid paints. Absolutely NO previous painting or art background necessary. Even if you never picked up a brush you can share in the joy of silk painting as you watch the dyes glide through the silk. On the other hand, if you are an artist, you will greatly benefit from this workshop.
Learn many exquisite silk painting techniques while you paint approximately seven technical silk samples 12x12, all hands-on.
Classes I teach: Two-day beginner workshops, one-day introductory class, weekends or weekdays – Adult with Child – Children’s classes - One-day One technique: Paint a scarf, etc. I schedule events at your convenience.
I also give talks to groups, for parties, with or without hands-on, at your location or my studio. I travel and teach and will work with you or your group. If you wish to set up a private class for a group, minimum four, we can schedule that.
