Hand Paint Velvet Scarf Class
This class is appropriate for all art skill levels.
Students will be introduced to fiber-reactive dyes to create a luminous , vibrantly colored silk/rayon 9” x 42” oblong scarf.Â
Students start with a white velvet scarf and may dye it whatever color they want. We work on the back side of the scarf using a resist similar to painting regular silk. We apply fiber- reactive dyes that dye both the velvet rayon pile and the silk backing.
Different techniques will be applied to a stretched out scarf suspended on a PVC pipe frame including the application of fluid and liquid dye.Â
Velvet scarves are soft cozy and elegant accessories for the mild Georgia winter and fall.
