Step into an Evening in an Artist's Garden
Imagine spending an evening in a hidden artist's garden, where the day's worries melt away and creativity, conversation, and hospitality come together beneath the evening sky.
As the sun begins to set, we'll gather around the fire pit to enjoy a traditional Italian aperitivo—a glass of Prosecco, delicious Italian bites, and wonderful conversation in an intimate garden setting. It's a chance to slow down, connect with fellow guests, and savor the simple pleasure of being present before we step into my working studio to discover the mesmerizing art of water marbling.
Then we'll step into my working studio, where I'll introduce you to the fascinating centuries-old art of water marbling. You'll watch as paints float across the surface of water, and I'll demonstrate how simple tools can transform them into beautiful swirling patterns.
When it's your turn, you'll create your own unique design and transfer it onto a luxurious silk scarf in one magical moment. Every print is completely one of a kind—an original piece of wearable art that you'll take home as a lasting reminder of an unforgettable evening.
This is more than a workshop—it's an invitation to slow down, savor good company, discover a centuries-old art form, and spend an evening creating something truly one of a kind.
Whether you come with a friend, celebrate a special occasion, or simply treat yourself to a creative escape, I hope you'll leave feeling inspired, refreshed, and already looking forward to your next visit.
I can't wait to welcome you into my artist's garden and share one of my favorite creative traditions with you.

female Women-owned

Starry Night Design is the creative world of Linda Capetillo-Cunliffe, a Los Angeles-based artist who brings together the timeless art of water marbling and the luxurious beauty of silk. Inspired by a transformative journey abroad, Linda discovered the ancient technique of water marbling -- and was instantly captivated by its mesmerizing, unpredictable patterns!
Her process begins with water as her canvas, where she coaxes pigments into intricate swirling designs before carefully transferring them onto fine silk. The result? Stunning, one-of-a-kind scarves and décor pieces that feel like wearable works of art. Because no two pieces can ever be exactly the same, every creation from Starry Night Design is truly unique -- a little piece of nature's magic you can hold in your hands and carry with you!
