Saturday, October 16, 2021 at 1:23AM
Try something new in this easy, relaxing introduction to the art of silk painting!
.
During this experience, you will learn a brief history, the complete process, and the different techniques of this art form with instructor Kristen Weller - all while enjoying tea and snacks provided by Northeast Tea House. You will leave with your very own 9” hand-painted silk hoop that you created during class to display in your home, and the skills to continue practicing on future projects, such as silk scarves, wall-hangings, or hand-painted clothing.
Kristen Weller is the Costume Crafts Head and Milliner at Minnesota Opera. Her most recent silk commission was a 12’x15’ hand-painted silk banner chandelier for St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Melrose, MN. You can view her work at www.KristenWeller.com. She finds the art form calming, and thinks it’s the perfect activity to accompany tea in such a tranquil space as the Northeast Tea House.
