Instructor: Susanne Bowling
8th-12 graders | all materials and lunch included
Join us for a one-day workshop learning the ancient art of painting on silk fabric. In this workshop students will design their own piece of textile art using silk, dye, and gutta. This is a relaxing and satisfying form of art that brings out the elegant flow of liquid color. Students will design, draw, outline, and paint on silk stretched over a hoop that will be suitable for display or hanging at home. Students will make a bonus project creating their own deconstructed sushi bowls for lunch break. All materials and lunch are included. If you would prefer to bring your own lunch, please let us know ahead of time.
