SILK SCARF WATER MARBLING
Discover the timeless art of painting on water, a centuries-old art form where paints are suspended on water to create intricate, fluid patterns. In this workshop you will design your own bespoke 14 x 72-inch silk scarf by selecting custom colours and utilizing specialized tools to manipulate designs. No prior experience is necessary - bring your creativity, and leave with a wearable work of art that is truly one-of-a-kind! DATES & TIME SUN MAY 17, Three 1-hour Class times available; 10 am, 11am & 12 noon YOUR TUTOR My name is Sarah McKeown and I have been a water marbling artist since 2018. I have painted on a variety of items such as hats and fans but my favourite mediums are silk and paper. Silk is an amazing fabric to paint on as the colours stay so vibrant and each scarf is a unique, wearable work of art. I am also drawn to upcycling vintage paper, a practice that adds depth, character, and history to each piece while giving new life to materials that might otherwise be discarded. My other artistic interests are photography, fibre and fabric arts, jewellery making, and furniture restoration to name a few. Water marbling has been my biggest artistic obsession yet! WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING Just your charming self. Wear grubby clothes you are likely to get messy. ACCESSIBILITY Hand strength and coordination required Wheelchair accessible
