Description
Discover silk painting and create your own unique silk square in the workshop of the renowned Lyon silk house Brochier Soieries.
Our designer’s introduction to silk painting is a unique creative experience.
Over the course of two hours, you will discover silk painting techniques and create your own personalised silk square.
Anna will guide you through the creative process, providing you with inspiring textile designs, tools and materials. Seated in front of the long hand-painting tables on which the silk rolls are stretched, you’ll spend 2 hours discovering the secrets of a Lyonnais skill that was highly prized by the great couturiers of the 20th century.
This introductory course is available for individuals and groups, and can be adapted to your level, whether you are a beginner or an experienced painter. It’s the ideal opportunity to share a timeless moment with friends or family (children aged 8 and over).
Once the session is over, our team will complete the process by fixing your colors, washing and manufacturing your square. As soon as the process is complete, we'll send the square to you by post anywhere in the world. A unique souvenir 100% lyonnais, 100% you!
