Discover the creativity in yourself and the surprising possibilities of experimental silk painting. During a 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. Each student has access to a large frame on which the silk is stretched. The workshops are given by Ellen Bakker. For all workshops you don't need any experience to participate.
The workshops offer a great deal of freedom to experiment. This way you can get started painting samples on silk fabrics. Or work towards an end product, such as beautiful smooth silk scarves or fabric for clothing or for felting. 

This day you start with practicing different techniques of silk painting on a Pongé silk measuring 55x55 cm. The rest of the day you will work on a beautiful scarf, fabric for clothing / interior or several samples.

The costs are Euro 95.00 per person, including a sample scarf of 55 x 55 cm, 120 ml silk dye, fixation of the silk. Coffee and tea with a treat *.
The workshops are given in the Netherlands in the center of Deventer. Within walking distance of the station and the Centrum parking garage. There are plenty of accommodation options in the area. A workshop day lasts from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm.
