Would you like to learn how to paint your own silk scarves?
We will explore three styles of silk painting: Microwave, Salt Dyeing and Acid dying.
Microwave Dying creates easy, one- of- a- kind scarves with rich blending of color by using the microwave to push the color.
Salt Dyeing is a style of painting scarves that uses salt as a desiccant which pulls the color.
Acid Dyeing involves sprinkling Acid Dyes onto silk and then using a combination of citric acid and microwaving for vibrant results.
Instructor will provide one make-up class, if a participant can’t make one of the sessions.
All supplies provided. A $40 materials fee is payable to the instructor at the first class.
