FAQ

What's beautiful about silk painting?
The batik technique is unique. It’s the process of turning a white canvas into a fairy tale, where harmony reigns, the music of lines and colors in endless variations of magic and wonder. The texture of silk, which flows, fascinates and inspires, makes the colors shine and glow.
What is the highlight of painting on silk?
Painting on silk is a creative process. At the end of the workshop, each one of you will create your own unique flower. And it will be absolutely your personal artwork. Even if you choose the same composition, each one of you will paint completely different artworks because each paint spreads differently, your hand movements are different, so your artworks will be different.
I don't know how to paint at all. Does it make sense for me to come to this workshop?
This workshop is designed for everyone — whether you have painting experience or feel like you’ve never picked up a brush before. At the start of the session, you’ll be invited to leave your inner critic at the door, creating space for creativity to flow freely.

Will you help me if I make mistakes in the painting process?
Nature isn’t perfect, and that’s what makes it so beautiful. In this workshop, you’re free to create without pressure, knowing that any “mistakes” can become a highlight of your flower. And of course, your instructor will be there to gently guide you and support you throughout your creative journey.
