WHAT IS THE EXPERIENCE LIKE?
The World Famous Mayu Silk Art Experience
Participants and spectators will enjoy a brief intro to Mayu Silk Art and the ancient art of water marbling, as well as an entertaining demonstration of the art process and use of paints and tools. Then, our skilled artisans will work one-to-one with each participant as they design and create their very own one-of-a-kind hand painted work of wearable art. See the experience description below.
NEW! Virtual Mayu Silk Art Experience
If you cannot make it to the studio, you can still participate via FaceTime, Zoom, or Skype! You will interact directly with your artisan as they lead you through the steps below - just as if you were there in the studio with us!
Be sure to bring your cameras to capture the fun, beauty and magic of this memorable 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.
3. If desired, swirl the paints using various rakes, combs, or stylus to create bold or intricate designs
4. The finished design is transferred to a 100% silk scarf (14" x 72")
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 or to your hotel room to hang dry and iron. After that, it is WASHABLE and will not fade in the sun (garment racks may be provided at the event, so that guests don't have to wait til later to dry their finished scarf)
8. Wear your art as a scarf, sash, or hat band; or
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! You will have the opportunity to purchase additional experiences or ready-to-use items on display - helping to contribute more to the cause!
The magical, mystical art of water marbling is at the center of everything we do, and we know your guests will enjoy this unique experience. And of course, everyone gets a one-of-a-kind luxurious silk scarf / table runner to take home and enjoy for years to come.
