Silk painting is certainly addictive. It’s a lot like watercolor in application. The dyes are bold, bright and very vivid. The theme of this class will be a floral collection of you choosing. I will help you plan and prep your design. Previous experience not necessary. To help with overall class costs, I offer a kit which will include everything needed to complete this project. Or, you always have the opportunity to buy your own supplies online. I use Dharma Trading for supplies. Check the material list for exact supplies needed and kit contents.
