Attending this 3-hour class you’ll be learning to paint on many types of silk fabrics such as silk chiffon, silk habotai, and thicker silk for instance luxurious silk, mixed silk with cotton or linen.

Luna will be teaching you to create your own design, how to transfer the design onto the silk fabric of your choice, and then to color it using different painting techniques such as using gutta, salt, silk dyes, silk paints, water, alcohol, dilutant or thickener.

After the class, you’ll come home with whether one piece of a hand-painted silk scarf or a piece of silk fabric to then tailor it into a garment that you desire. It can be a skirt, a blouse, a pair of trousers or even a jacket if you choose to paint on a large piece of fabric.

Applying this technique, you’ll then be able to make many different silk scarves for yourself or your loved ones by giving them as a meaningful gift.
