How to Paint on Silk

with Teena Hughes

Have you ever wondered how to paint on silk, but thought it was too hard for you to try?

Royal Easter Show - 12-14 April, 2010

I've been at the Royal Easter Show in Sydney this week, teaching people of all ages silk painting - I've been having a faaabulous time! Here are a few photos - I'll be uploading more as soon as possible - including the videos I took:

I had kids from 2 and 3 years old having a go at silk painting, all the way up to teenagers and adults, and I had the BEST time! There's nothing more special than showing people how to do something I love and get so much enjoyment out of!

You can see all the photos and videos on the Easter Show page >>

Learning How to Paint on Silk

Watch this quick little video to see how easy it can be (video only takes about a minute :-))

Have a look at this recent video of first-time silk painters in one of my classes:

I've been teaching silk painting for thirty years, and I still remember how scared I was that I'd make a mistake ... so I understand what my students are going through when they first start out. I do my best to take the fear away and show each person that they too can go home with a wonderful piece of silk which they have actually painted all by themselves.

So - are you ready?? Sign up today (in the hot pink box) to get notified about upcoming workshops and things to do with silk painting, or check out the Calendar of Workshops - or contact me to talk about what you'd like to learn.  Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Cheers
