Introductory Web Workshop 3 - Traditional Silk Painting: The Basics

From using the right silk to stretching it on a frame or other suitable 'thing', applying the resist lines then painting the design, the workshop will cover the basics to help you enjoy this beautiful painting skill. You'll learn the good habits - and I'll show you some 'other' habits as well! It's also a great opportunity to demonstrate a few other fabric designing ideas that lend themselves to working on silk, but can be used on other fabrics as well. Although we know that Liquid Radiance will colour any fabric whatsoever, this traditional silk painting style cannot be done on just ANY fabric - because nobody can make silk like a silkworm! It's the simplicity of the weave and strength of the threads that allow the resist lines to penetrate the stretched silk, forming the 'little dams' to hold the colour in as we paint.
