Hello! I’m Laura, and I’ve been immersed in the world of silk painting since 2006. It all started by chance when I was teaching high school art, and from the moment I tried silk painting, I was hooked! The experience was pure magic, and I haven’t looked back since.
Over the years, I’ve explored, experimented, and learned everything I could about silk painting, and now I’m excited to share that passion with you! One of my favorite techniques, the Marker Resist Method, is not only budget-friendly and easy to set up, but it also delivers stunning results every time.
I believe in community over competition, so I’ve packed this course with everything I know. I can't wait to see you inside!
