Silk Painting - Discover what you get

Looking to add some oriental beauty to your arts and crafts programs?

This program package includes everything we have learned to help you to develop a quality silk painting program. Doing your own research is another option, and below we offer you some hints and tips on doing that. However, what we will provide you with is valuable trial-and-error experience and our own insights to assist you in the journey of implementing this activity.

What you could do:

  • Hire someone to create a silk painting activity from scratch. This would take approximately 20hrs+ of work at roughly $10 per hour, and the majority of resources available do not give information on basic silk painting, only on attempting more complex works. You will need to:
    • Research many silk painting resources: online, in books, publications, videos.
    • Search for equipment online, in local stores, trade magazines, camp conferences, neighbor camps, etc.
    • Create your own lesson plan.
    • Trial and error the equipment and activity to find out safety points and logistical considerations.

  • Websites for you to check out:
  • Books on the subject:
    • “Beginners Guide to Silk Painting” by Mandy Southan - $10.85 on Amazon.
    • “Silk Painting for Beginners” by Concha Morgades - $9.95 on Amazon.

What we offer:

  • A fully tried and tested lesson plan which encourages safety, fun and learning.
  • Videos of the activity being prepared and a lesson taking place.
  • Equipment lists and suggestions for where to purchase from (NB: we do not receive royalties from the suppliers that we list).
  • Safety considerations for the chemicals you will require for this activity.
  • Photos.
  • Our trial-and-error knowledge points.
  • A half-hour telephone conversation with a member of our staff, well-versed in silk screening, to help you adapt it to your needs and answer any questions.
  • Email contact for any questions that arise during your implementation.
  • Special offers relating to your purchase, in addition to program updates.

Benefits:

We believe that the value you will receive from our silk painting package is far higher than the investment you would make in researching the activity for yourself. There is no doubting that many summer camps do research and implement their own activities effectively. Our hope is that in finding the path to success, we can pass our tested knowledge on to you, giving you the tools you need, without the time-consuming research, to create your own camp activity.

  • You invest considerably less personal and staff time and in researching silk painting, the research has been done for you!
  • You receive the benefit of our errors made, and knowledge developed from us running silk painting.
  • A lesson plan that focuses on the learning and development of the campers.
  • Many creative variations for the activity.
  • Reliable contact with a human being, who can answer your questions and help you adapt the program to fit your organizations needs.
  • We hope to spur innovation in your organization by planting a seed.  If you create a program we don’t have, we‘d love to talk about buying it from you for our camp!
