Silk Painting Workshop

These images are from the Silk Painting Workshop held on Sunday 25th April 2010 at Talgai Hall, Llandygai nr Bangor; one of the Individual Workshops I am teaching at present. The day was great fun as you can see, but there was often silence in the room because of the level of concentration and lunch was a brief break as everyone wanted to get to the next stage. You can judge the results for yourself. Scroll down through the images.

The white lines left by the gutta (resist) are a gift to quilters and I look forward to seeing how these paintings look layered and quilted. I gather further silk paintings are already being planned – once you find out how fascinating the results of silk painting are, it’s hard to resist doing another and another and another. You get the picture! The next twelve session Beginner and Intermediate Courses start again in early September. Dot Russell 27th April 2010
