Discover the joy of silk painting in this delightful painting class at The Craftship in Ashford. You'll learn how to create stunning designs on silk fabric, and leave with a masterpiece ready to hang or gift to someone special.
You will make up your design to fit within the hoop size (don't worry, I'll be on hand to help with ideas already printed out). This will be a simple design so that we can finish up within time
You will then be taken through the stages needed to create your masterpiece and shown special techniques along the way.

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 of fabric design. I completed a Fashion textiles: Print Degree at UCA Rochester and since then have been printing my own fabrics, printing fabrics for my products and running workshops.
I live in rural Ashford and run some of my classes from Thamesside Studios in Woolwich either in their education space or my own studio for smaller numbers. I am very happy to travel to other venues if required
