Silk Painting

Silk painting is a fun and easy craft at the Craft Center. The Craft Center sells premade plain white silk scarves in a variety of sizes including square and rectangle. Upon purchasing the scarf, members stretch the silk on a frame, pencil in design outlines, draw with liquid resist, and paint dye within the lines. The price of resist is included in the purchase of the silk. The silk painting Area Coordinator can provide more advanced techniques such as salt effects and heat-setting the dye.
