Overview

Imagine being able to paint your own silk scarf with an authentic Valencian silk artisan. Take home the experience and your own scarf to remember and carry at home.
You can paint with the help of the only silk artisan included in the Homofaber guide, the Michelin guide to the best world craftsmanship.

What to expect

I will introduce myself and show you where and what we are going to do. I will demonstrate how to paint on silk and I will show you what a silk cocoon is like, its process and fibers and the silk tradition of Valencia and its types of weaving. Then we will take action! In the work area we will have the handkerchiefs ready drawn and mounted on the frame with our beautiful design drawn in line. Each student will sit down and paint it to her liking, mixing the colors according to my instructions. While we work we will listen to good music, and we will have tea. Each student will take their own scarf with an original design, and an unforgettable memory with the cultural essence of Valencia.
I will need 24 hours to finish the process and you can collect your silk scarf.
