Silk Painting Workshop with Jean Robertson February 2018

Create unique wearable art in the beautiful surrounding of Lisnavagh House

Silk Painting is easy, it’s fun and you get startlingly beautiful results.

During a specially designed programme of classes you will be introduced to the gentle and relaxing art of hand painting on silk. Participants of all skill levels will design and hand paint a silk scarf which they will be able to take home and wear with pride.

Silk painting is the art of applying special dye to silks. The process begins with a luxurious base of precious white silk fabric. The purity and the intensity of colour that emerges during the painting process is truly amazing. No experience is necessary and all materials are included.

Groups are kept to limited numbers for maximum tuition.

Each weekend retreat offers unique and private surroundings with big fires crackling in the oak panelled library and the dining room.

When Jean has finished putting your through your paces in the Silk Painting Workshop you can experience a multitude of delights as you unwind, curling up on a sofa with a good book, taking a snooze in the blissful quiet of your bedroom, soaking in a luxurious bath with no time pressure, or sipping tea as you take in expansive views of the pleasure grounds.
