Handpainted Silk Wearable Art & Interior Design Collections by Teena Hughes
Teena Hughes was in an art Studio in Paris; she dipped the paintbrush into silk dye for the very first time and created a quick shape onto the white silk. Watching the colours slowly inch and slide across the silk, Teena's creativity was awakened - the dyes magically blended and merged in colourful swirls and explosions, creating new shades of colours ... and Teena fell in love. With silk. With being able to paint and design on silk and other textiles. She heaved a huge sigh of relief and thought, "Ahhhhh ... so THIS is what I've been searching for all my life!"
Would you like to be able to experience the same enjoyment from learning how to hand-paint your own silk scarves, cushion covers, gifts and fashions? If you answered "Yes!" then this workshop with Teena Hughes is for you.
Teena Hughes learnt to paint on silk in Paris almost 30 years ago, and has been teaching this wonderful ancient skill to people all over the world ever since. Visiting Melbourne for only two days, Teena will be hosting only one Silk Painting Workshop on Saturday 30th January, 2009. The all-day workshop starts at 10:00am, ends at 3:30pm, and is suitable to all -- beginners are welcomed. No artistic skills are required! The workshop will be held in Glen Iris; everything is included. All the student needs to bring is lunch; come along and join with others who want to learn these wonderful ancient French silk painting techniques.
