Silk Painting Workshop Silk Painting Workshop Instructor: Claudia Fluegge Sunday, October 7th, 11am - 2pm Cost: $40 Registration and Pre-payment required. Painting on silk is a playful and colorful adventure. If you have never tried it, this is your chance to take an excellent class with the accomplished instructor and artist Claudia Fluegge. Claudia has won numerous national awards for her silk painting work and currently exhibits at Weems Gallery in Albuquerque. Class participants will start by stretching a white piece of silk over a frame. Then Claudia will lead you through an exploration of basic silk painting techniques such as salting, outlining, and applying dyes with a paintbrush. Usually there is enough time to make two pieces. Finished pieces must be steamed to fix the dyes. Claudia will charge $2 per piece if you would like her to do the steaming for you. If you have previously taken this class, she would love to have you back to do more painting. Space is limited to 12 people, so call 247-1172 to register and pre-pay now!
