We are so proud of our classes here at Silk Road Textiles. Our regular teachers come to us with years of experience and a wide range of skills, but every once in a while we are lucky enough to host a nationally known instructor. Last Sunday we had the honor of working with Jacqueline Sullivan. Jacqueline Sullivan is a mixed media, acrylic and calligraphic artist. She is well known for her pieces that experiment with texture, layers, paint, unusual materials, calligraphic marks, and words. Jacqueline’s work has been shown nationwide in galleries and juried art fairs. She has a degree in graphic design and worked for many years as a publication and advertising designer. For over 30 years Jacqueline has also been a teaching artist years. She has taught workshops for art retreats and art and calligraphy guilds in the US and Canada. She has served as faculty for several International Calligraphy Conferences. The Artist Network University is regularly offering Jacqueline’s four week on-line art workshop ~ Discovering the Magic of Acrylics ~ presented to the international art community. Jacqueline has published technique articles in Somerset Studio, Cloth Paper Scissors, Pages, and Astarte’s Mega-Zine. She most recently was honored as the cover artist interviewed for the Winter 2012 issue of Alphabet. Jacqueline has a best-selling DVD – Acrylics: Textures, Layers, and Metallics – published by Creative Catalyst Productions. A video series of her most requested art techniques is also available from Jacqueline. Recently, Jacqueline was one of 18 artists selected nationwide to become a Golden Certified Artist for Golden Paint Company. A few lucky students got the opportunity to make beautiful silk scarves with her using a wax resist dyeing technique. We had a great time painting layers of color and design, all under Jacqueline’s watchful eye. If this kind of class appeals to you, be sure to check out our You-nique Scarf class where you dye silk scarves using old ties and our Nuno Felting class where you create layers of colored wool felted into a lofty silk scarf. These classes are offered regularly at Silk Road Textiles, and who knows…maybe we’ll have Jacqueline back soon to paint some more!
