Wildlife Silk Painting

What to Expect: Using pre-outlined silks learn how to tint & blend iron-fix silk paints to create beautiful wildlife images inspired by a visit to the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition. These can be made into cards or taken home to frame.

Benefits: Silk painting can benefit your precision, patience and expertise. It is a versatile and rewarding art form, suitable for a variety of applications that you can enjoy, from scarves to wear to home décor and fine art pieces.

Who is your tutor: Helen Mortimer is an artist specialising in paintings on silk, inspired by her travels abroad. She exhibits annually at Open Studios in both West Berkshire & Hampshire. She also creates silk scarves, using Shibori designs, shown at craft fairs & exhibitions with Made in the Hood - a local craft group.
She teaches art & craft to various groups in the community: at The Base, the Corn Exchange & Day Centres.
