WHAT DO YOU AND YOUR GUESTS GET TO DO?

THE MAYU SILK ART EXPERIENCE

1. Choose your own colors from approximately 35 different hues (we recommend 2-8 colors)
2. Apply drops of paint to the surface of water in a six-foot long tray

4. The finished design is transferred to a 100% silk scarf
5. Rinse the scarf in water to remove excess paint
6. Show off your finished design for all to see!
7. Take your scarf home to hang dry and iron. After that, it is WASHABLE and will not fade in the sun

9. Use it as a table runner, window hanging, or wall art

Make just one, or as many as you like. WARNING: this art is addictive!
A few important points:

If your preferred date is not available, we will contact you immediately to make alternate arrangements.

Price may vary based on options below, or other factors. You will determine the price, if any, to be paid by your guests. We  provide everything needed for the water marbling activity, from floor coverings to canopy/lights (if required), all materials and supplies, and enough of our artisan team members to make sure that each of your guests receives the one-to-one attention that makes the Mayu Silk Art Experience so special. 

SET UP REQUIREMENTS FOR OFF-SITE PARTIES AND EVENTS AT YOUR LOCATION:
  • We require a level area of at least 10' x 10'.  Exact dimensions will be determined by the number of scarves to be made and the amount of time and space available. 
  • We can work indoors or outdoors. We will provide water grabbing, slip resistant, rubber-backed floor mats to protect floors, decking, etc.  Grass or packed dirt are suitable; sand and artificial turf are not ideal. 
  • In order to provide the best painting experience for your guests, please provide an area that is protected from wind, direct sun, exreme temperatures, and other elements. Indoor venues are generally preferred, but we do have walled canopies available (no additional charge for use of canopies).
  • We will need access to a water faucet to fill our rinse buckets. A hose or janitor's sink will suffice.
  • Please include an hour for set up before the scarf-painting activity starts, and an hour for tear down afterward.

PARTY OPTIONS - MAKE IT EXTRA SPECIAL

We do have a few options that can be added to help complete the experience:
Picture

--  DIY Play Table, where folks can test the colors on small trays, and create designs to transfer to various items, such as:
  • set of coasters (with water marbled ribbon)
  • long stemmed faux flower
  • wooden picture frame or cutout
The cost for the DIY Play Table is $5 per person.
One main item per person; additional "trinkets" such as seashells, gift tags, etc., will be provided for additional painting fun as supplies last. 
Picture
--- The Mayu Silk Art Boutique  We always bring plenty of sample scarves to help spark the imagination, and with your permission, we will offer them to your guests for purchase, along with gift certificates and other water marbled items.  The sale of any display items of $44 or more can count toward your minimum, and a percentage of the proceeds from all of the boutique sales will go to support our Pay It Forward program, helping us bring the Mayu Silk Art Experience to cancer patients, victims of abuse, special needs adults, and others. At the time of your party, we will let you and your guests know which charitable group will be benefiting from these funds. Gift-in-kind tax deductible forms from one of our charitable groups can be provided upon request for any donation of $44 or more.
​

--  To make a special occasion even more memorable - If this is a birthday or other special occasion, the group can create a very special scarf decorated with their own handwritten notes and signatures. 
Often, this activity is conducted in a "secret" area without the knowledge of the guest of honor.  Once everyone has completed their scarves and the event is nearing it's close, everyone will gather around the central marbling tray to form a sort of Conga line, the music will ring out, and the group will work together to create a final design together. The climactic moment will come when the signature scarf, with all its' wonderful notes and autographs, is laid on the surface. The black ink writings and notations provide an artistic depth to the swirling marbled patterns, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind memento of this special day. The cost for this extraordinary add-on is just $49 (includes the scarf, the Conga line, and the permanent fabric pen). ​

Here are a few important points:
