Moody Lighting: Creating a Silk Shade for an IKEA Lamp with Kathy Goodson Wednesday Mini Class In this workshop, students will learn how to use a painted and steamed piece of silk to cover an Ikea lamp. Kathy says; I am a silk painter, having come to this after many years pursuing other forms of creative expression. In 1990 I began a journey of self-exploration. One of the books that guided me was The Artist Way, which promotes fun artistic explorations called artist dates. One of my artist dates involved buying a child’s silk scarf painting kit. The first time I painted with the dye, I laughed feeling totally free. I had never felt like that with any other creative outlet and knew I had been given a gift. That was over 20 years ago. Each day is a new adventure for me with my art. I believe strongly in giving back, that in order to keep it, the joy of painting, I must share it. I start with no preconceived ideas of what works and bring to this art an enormous willingness and a beginner’s mind. I believe in interacting with the painting process and love to let the dye and silk first create and then lead me in that process.
