Discover the colourful and relaxing art of silk painting and create your own beautiful piece of artwork to take home.
In this friendly, beginner-friendly silk painting workshop, I'll guide you step by step through the process of creating your own design on silk. You don't need any previous painting or drawing experience – just come along ready to experiment with colour and enjoy being creative.
You'll start by exploring ideas for your design. You might choose flowers, abstract shapes, patterns or something completely individual. I'll have plenty of inspiration available, and I'll help you create a design that works beautifully within your silk hoop.
I'll then show you how to use gutta to create your outlines before introducing you to silk paints and the wonderful way colour moves and blends across the fabric. You'll be able to experiment with different colours and techniques to create interesting effects and make your artwork completely your own.
One of the loveliest things about silk painting is that you don't have to be an experienced artist to achieve beautiful results. The flowing colours often create unexpected effects, and I'll be there throughout the workshop to help and encourage you.
Once your painting is complete, your silk stays in its wooden hoop, turning it into a ready-to-display piece of textile art to take home with you.
All materials are provided, including your silk, hoop, paints, gutta, brushes and equipment, so you don't need to bring anything.
Come on your own for a relaxing creative experience, bring a friend or make it part of a birthday, date or special day out. It's a lovely opportunity to switch off, play with colour and discover a new creative skill.
You'll leave with your own hand-painted silk artwork – and hopefully a new love of silk painting too.

Hello, I'm Tania. I offer workshops in all sorts of fabric design and printing. After many years working as a bookkeeper, I decided to pursue my long-time passion for fabric design. I completed a Fashion Textiles: Print Degree at UCA Rochester, and since then, I have been printing my own fabrics, printing fabrics for my products, and running workshops.
I live in SE London and run some of my classes from Thames-Side Studios in Woolwich, either in their education space or my own studio for smaller numbers. I also run classes from my good friend's cafe, The Country Coffee Shop and Cafe, in Saddlesdane near Faversham and the fabulous Craftship/Made in Ashford, at the Coachworks in Ashford. I am very happy to travel to other venues if required.
