Microwave Dyeing — Fix Your Silk in Minutes
65 days access 4 lessons · 1h 0m Supply list Dupont catalogue
Microwaving silk dyes into abstract and organic patterns is relatively new — and in this process, no outliner medium is involved at all.
It suits shibori, tie and dye, and scrunch-and-run especially well, and it comes into its own on large pieces of silk where you aren't aiming for a fixed design.
Unlike conventional silk dyeing, which needs absolutely dry conditions, this is the complete opposite. Learn how, and you can fix your silk in three minutes.
By the end, you'll be able to…
No drawing or painting skill required — bring a sense of colour and you're ready No resist, no gutta, no outlines — silk in its rawest form Fix your silk in minutes. Three, in fact For the adventurous: unexpected, organic results, one of a kind every single time Play your heart out with colour A bonus second lesson — two different scarves, two different designs A whole new way to work with silk, outside anything you've tried before
For anyone who loves colour and wants results fast — no drawing skill needed, and no outlining to slow you down.

What learners say
"Husna was such a wonderful teacher — she held back nothing and taught us all the nuances of silk painting. Four hours whizzed past, making a thing of joy: a silk scarf painted for ourselves."
"Honestly, I had no hope at the start — I thought it wouldn't come out well. But they said 'trust the process,' and it came out really well! My experience was much beyond my expectations."
"A very good teacher — she's been doing this for over two decades. Silk painting is such a stress-buster. I loved it!"
