There will be talks and workshops, an exhibition and a fashion show of wearable art.
In the painting above the flower shape has been outlined with clear gutta. This acts a a resist to keep the colour from spreading beyond. When the painting is finished and the colours have been fixed it is washed to remove the gutta leaving the original white of the silk
In the one below the gutta lines are largely hidden as the painting has been built up in layers.
