Silk Painting - Fence Technique

Description

There are no open sections for this class.

Please login or create a new profile to be notified when a new section becomes available.


Participants will learn the fence technique of silk painting with gutta.  Gutta is a water-based wax resist and acts as a barrier for the dye.  It keeps the color within the outlined areas of a design, allowing sharply defined borders.  Participants will free-form their own designs with gutta paint on a hemmed white silk scarf.  Once the gutta has dried, the spaces can be filled in with a large selection of colors.  All materials are included in the class fee.
