Silk Painting Works Wonders, See for Yourself

Painting on Fabric and Silk

Everything needed for painting on silk and fabric was ready for the participants. Talented artists and an experienced workshop organizer from the civic association Gaštanový koník prepared demonstrations to suit every taste. After learning about the techniques, everyone reached for their favorite shades, and a parade of shapes and colors began.

It was a lively, colorful event. The schoolchildren told us they were amazed at everything they could paint with fabric paints, markers, and silk products.

A World of Colors That Brings Generations Together

Painting on silk and fabric is for everyone, regardless of age. The creative atmosphere was proof of that, with children and adults chatting about choosing colors and correctly applying silk outlines, and joyful shouts as they created patterns using magic salt.

We were delighted that the techniques caught the interest of the seniors, too.

Flowers were the most popular motif, along with animals and the sea.

The clear favorites were the silk resist, along with the wooden frame, which the organizers cleverly made from wooden strips, and metallic fabric paints.

The wonderful thing about workshops is that you can learn something new or build on what you already know. We, too, came away from many wonderful conversations inspired with fresh ideas and practical experience, which we’re happy to share with you #fortheloveofart.

The creative atmosphere swept us up in a swirl of paints, too.

Together, we painted a scarf in a traditionally unconventional style. We fell so in love with it that we’ll probably be borrowing it from each other now :)

Sending greetings from the world of silk, Inga and Diana
