“Zach embraces place-based making and will work with participants to develop the local narrative and integrity of their work through intimacy with geology, history, and community. There will be lots of food for thought about developing the connections of one’s work with the world in this hands-on 3 day workshop.”

JUNE HOUSE~ Serti Silk Painting
SEPTEMBER 8th-9th
In this workshop we will be painting pre-hemmed silk scarves in the serti resist method. You’ll start with a line design on paper, which is then traced with resist onto the silk with a fine squeeze bottle. When the resist is dry, the real fun begins: applying the dye to the silk! When you touch the brush to the silk, the dye spreads, stopping at the resist lines. Colors can be mixed on or off the fabric. Using this technique, it is possible to get airbrush quality blends from one color to another. The result is shimmeringly gorgeous! All levels welcome. Experienced artists can experiment using favorite motifs, images, patterns. For beginners I’ll provide suggestions for designs from readily available sources (think quilt blocks, adult coloring books, stained glass), and will also bring designs that you may use. Most can expect to complete a scarf on day one. Day two will provide an opportunity for more experimentation and production of one or more scarves, depending on the complexity of your designs. All tools, fabrics, and dyes will be provided. Prior to class, students will be provided with a list of additional things to bring, and guidance regarding designing for this unique and fun process.
