SILK PAINTING EXPERIENCE – Sunday 3 October 2027
10.00 am – 4.00 pm
£85.00
Suitable for 14+ (accompanied by an adult).
Join Louise, artist & potter from Blended Monkey, and learn how to take a piece of blank silk and create a beautiful 55 cm x 55 cm silk scarf or wall hanging painted in your own or provided design.
In this relaxing and beginner-friendly silk painting session (you don’t need to be able to draw or paint), you’ll discover how to take a design of your choice (there will be a selection of designs to use if you don’t want to come up with your own), trace your design on the silk using a fade pen, attach the silk to a frame with special pins, and apply gutta contouring medium to provide outlines.
Once the gutta has dried (after lunch) you’ll learn how to mix various colours to create your very own palette and how to apply the paint to the silk.
The whole procedure will be explained from start to finish by Louise and also with the aid of real-time footage on a large screen showing each step up close.
The 1-day workshop includes:
– Materials & use of all equipment.
– Refreshments (tea/coffee/biscuits).
– Free entry to the Farmland Museum & Denny Abbey.
– As we limit the number of people to 8, you get to have some 1-2-1 tuition and the maximum benefit from a day with no distractions.
– All work can be taken home.
– Care sheet.
The fabulous Docky Box Tearoom at the Farmland Museum has some truly scrumptious food to tempt you at lunchtime🍲; plenty of yummy treats, so you won’t go hungry 🥔❣️
