Come learn the vibrant and flowing art of silk painting in this fun and approachable workshop! You’ll create your very own silk suncatcher—perfect for gifting or brightening your windows at home. Choose from a variety of pre-drawn designs provided by Sheila or bring your own design (must fit within an 8″ circle and have simple, closed lines). You’ll trace your design onto silk, outline it with gutta, and then bring it to life using silk dyes that dance and blend on the fabric.
Sheila McKay has been sewing, designing, and painting for years. Her love for silk painting comes from the mesmerizing way the dyes flow and blend on the hoop. She’s also a pattern designer and created a fabric line called Scandinavian Winter—see more of her work at www.mckaymanormusers.com. When not creating, she enjoys spending time with her grandkids, traveling, and capturing special moments through photography.
