Further Detail
You will learn how to blend colours and make them move on this rather reluctant surface to enhance and personalise a generously sized organic wool shawl – and for those who are unable to wear wool next to their skin, it can be lined with fabulously translucent georgette. Many of the techniques used in silk painting can be adapted to colour the wool and exciting effects can be achieved with watermarks, salt and outlining
Skills/Techniques Covered
This course is suitable for Improvers onward (those with a little experience of silk painting)
Materials
Materials are not included in your course fee. All materials will be provided by the tutor. The approximate cost of these will be £25 payable to the tutor during the course.
The tutor may not have the facilities to take card payments for materials in the workshops. Please remember to bring cash or your cheque book if your course involves buying materials from the tutor.
Please Bring With You
We advise that you do not buy any materials required for a course more than two weeks in advance, because occasionally a course is cancelled due to low enrolment.
