Floral silk painting

Join us at Liberation Art Gallery for a relaxing and creative silk painting workshop, where participants will design and paint a beautiful floral artwork on silk, stretched within an embroidery hoop.

In this guided session, you’ll be introduced to the basics of silk painting, learning how dyes flow on silk and how to layer colour to create soft, expressive floral designs. Working within an embroidery hoop frame, participants will create a finished textile piece that is both delicate and vibrant.

This workshop is suitable for beginners and those with some creative experience. The focus is on exploration, colour, and enjoyment rather than technical perfection. By the end of the session, you’ll take home your completed silk artwork—ready to hang as a decorative piece or gift.

All materials are provided, and step-by-step guidance will be available throughout the workshop.

✨ What you’ll make:

• A hand-painted silk floral artwork
• Mounted in an embroidery hoop and ready to hang

✨ What’s included:

• Silk fabric, dyes, tools, and embroidery hoop
• Guided instruction in a supportive gallery setting

✨ Who it’s for:

• Beginners and anyone curious about textile art
• No prior silk painting experience required

Enjoy a calm, creative session exploring colour and texture, and leave with a unique handmade artwork to treasure.
