Swiss Silkers Workshops in the Mountains

 In May 2015 Gitte Bachmann, Art Director of the Swiss Silkers organized two workshops for Chapter Members and non Members. She gave input, helped, gave advice if needed. Everybody was encouraged to experiment with new techniques or materials.

We had a great week surrounded by the fabulous Swiss mountains. When the weather was fine some went for short hikes, others prefered to paint round the clock. We learned how to do Shibori scarves and photo transfer. We were able to learn from each other and experimented with all kinds of silk painting techniques.
