New to silk painting or want to learn a new resist method?
This weekend workshop on Saturday, October 2nd from 12:00-5:00 pm CST, is perfect to learn the basics of silk painting using my Marker Resist Method. In just a few hours, you will create your own wearable silk scarf from start to finish!
Together, via zoom, we will create a wearable 14” x 72” scarf detailing gorgeous, brightly colored orchids. You will learn how to transfer the pattern, stretch the scarf, mix colors, and apply & set the dyes.
If you are new to silk painting, there is an option to purchase the workshop plus a silk supply kit that includes all of the needed silk painting supplies, including the scarf, pattern, dyes, brushes and more. Shipping is free with purchase.

Using a medium-weight silk, silk dyes and resist, she layers color to create form and texture, counting missteps as design elements that are sometimes more beautiful and interesting than the original concept. Wallis has shared her processes and techniques teaching multiple silk workshops in multiple states across the US. in 2019, Wallis was awarded Master Silk Painter (MSP) by Silk Painters International (SPIN), an organization of silk artists, educators, and practitioners.
