Try your hand at painting with silk dyes in this fun and easy class! Choose one of three pre-resisted designs -a peony, dogwood flowers, or clown fish – to learn to apply silk dyes and enjoy a colorful, magical journey. The instructor will steam set your finished piece for you to pick up at the SEFAA Center a week or so after class, or you can have it mailed to you along with instructions on washing, rinsing, and ironing. Then, place your finished work in an embroidery hoop (provided) and enjoy it for years to come!
