One day, five women, some paints and silk, and voila - something new is created.

Although you can bring your talent to the silk painting table, the artist workshops and retreats taught in Tumbler Ridge by Art For Happiness focus in the first place on the creative art experience of the individual and did not require any previous experience to enjoy. All silk painting materials and supplies are provided, as these events are all-inclusive. The only thing you bring is curiosity.

Pillow cover, bandana or silk painting wall art? 

There is no end when it comes to creativity! Some of the students used the work right away as a headscarf. Others envisioned using it as a hand-painted silk pillow cover or wall art.

And there also is no question that the relaxing environment in Tumbler Ridge Global Geopark, paired with the interactive experience of fabric painting and the freeflow process, made everyone relax and finished with a smiling face asking when can we do it again?

Painting on silk is meditative and occupational therapy.

No previous experience is required.

To enjoy the relaxing creative classes, experience painting at a silk beginner's workshop, and learn why fabric art is a unique opportunity in the northern part of British Columbia. Once experienced, the students are hooked and want to learn more.

This beginner's silk painting class was one day retreat using Habotai silk, silk painting markers and outlining paint, sometimes also called gutta.

Below you see the two stages this student creates her beautiful work.

Mission was accomplished.
