Discover the creativity in yourself and the surprising possibilities of experimental silk painting. During the workshop you will learn what the effect is of working with various transparent layers, making the paint flow, but also stopping the paint. You will be introduced to working with brushes, templates, stamps and other tools. But above all, you learn to intuitively fill the white silk with color and shape.
 
We will use Ponge/Habotai 5 silk. This type of silk gives a beautiful result for silk painting. And because it is very thin, you can also use it for nuno-felting.
No previous painting experience required to participate this workshop.
