Join me this Saturday at Binders Art Supplies and Frames for
ArtFolioSilk Painting DemonstrationHave you been intrigued by the beauty of silk art but had questions like what is the difference between silk paint and silk dye and how are they used? What is gutta and water based resist? What do I need to get started? See for yourself the different types of silk paints and dyes and how they are used. Everyone will have a chance to make a small silk painting right there using silk paints and gutta. Join us for fun, learning and a great take home project.
What is silk painting? First the silk is stretched tightly over a frame. Then a “resist” is applied. This resist acts as a little dam for the dye. Dyes are then applied and blended to achieve different colored effects. The piece is then permanently fixed using either steam, heat or a chemical process. After fixing the dyes become both light and color fast. The silk can then be hand washed with gentle soap or dry cleaned.
