Beginners' Silk Painting Class

Discover the colourful and relaxing art of silk painting in London!



2.5 hours - 3 hours Location Woolwich Class size 1 to 10 guests   £30 - £35 (£35 per guest when you book for 1+ guests, £30/guest for 4+ guests. £200 per class surcharge applies for private classes)

Discover the colourful and relaxing art of silk painting in London and create your own beautiful piece of artwork to take home. We'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. You'll then be shown 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.
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.
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.
