Silk Painting Retreat in Durfort France
with Master Silk Painter Christine Sutherland

Date: Sept 25- Oct 2, 2013

Instructor: Christine Sutherland, Master Silk Painter, SPIN




Find yourself living in the rich ambiance of La Cascade retreat in the medieval village of Durfort, France, loving the food and laughter with new creative friends while learning to paint on silk.

Learn the basics of soy wax, bees wax and Resistad used to create cool textures and new techniques developed by Master Silk Painter Christine Sutherland with over a decade of experience painting exclusively on silk.



This workshop & retreat experience will give any level of artist a great level of inspiration to reinvent yourself and your artistic endeavors.

The daily projects will be created on a 15” x 15” silk, along with a scarf a day. 

Bring your own designs to paint or be inspired by the beauty of France in the fall where you will find plenty of time for sketching the countryside and being intrigued by the people walking through the enchanting streets of Durfort. 


Please share this info with those you know who may enjoy it!

Friends - I've worked with Christine for decades - her first silk painting was actually the cover of my folktale Twiga, & she went on to became an International Master Silk Painter. If you have an inkling of desire to learn this unique art - Christine would be the perfect teacher!
