Silk Painting Family Workshop

Delve into the art of silk painting with the Japanese serti technique.
Families will use a provided line drawing based on a nature theme or sketch their own. Silk is then stretched onto a frame and the design is drawn using a resist. Once dried, the resist forms a boundary, within which a thin, dye like textile paint is added.
Each family or group will work together on one silk painting. Recommended for ages 8+.
Please note this process will take 3 hours to complete.
**Because each family/group will be working together on one silk painting, only one registrant per family/group is necessary.**
