Learn techniques to create uniquely designed silk scarves using items that most people have in their homes. Students will paint 4 distinct scarves for themselves or to give as gifts. We’ll discuss how to choose designs for painting on silk and how to transfer it to the fabric. There will be demonstration & individual instruction provided on using resists in conjunction with the paint. These larger pieces may be mounted & framed, used as wall hangings or made into throw pillows. All materials included with supply fee.

  • Supply fee of $55 due to instructor on first day for all workshop materials.
Bacon, Lorelle

At the age of 50, I launched my life and career in a new direction as a full- time two denominational artist and instructor. I've enjoyed this challenge tremendously for the past 25 years and counting! There is nothing like witnessing the absolute joy on students’ faces when they see what they have created. I still teach a variety of painting techniques and paint portrait commissions; however, it has become more painful due to arthritis. I discovered making jewelry a few years ago using fine silver, sterling and copper metal clays. Taking wire wrapping workshops helped me learn new skills and refine my processes, enabling me to share this medium with students eager to craft their own unique pieces.
