Developed through hands-on teaching
This course and kit grew from beginner workshops taught here, then was carefully adapted so the same calm, guided silk painting experience could travel beyond the studio and into your home.
See what first-time silk painters can create
You don’t need to know how to draw or paint before you begin. These pieces were created by complete beginners during our in-person silk painting workshops, using the same core techniques that shaped this course.
As the first experience ends, a new creative journey begins — with confidence.

Verified reviews from Classbento
Coffee Break Silk Painting® brings together what we’ve learned from teaching beginners in person with years of experience teaching and sharing art through video.
The course and kit were developed as one learning system: clear video guidance paired with carefully selected, artist-quality silk painting materials, so what you see demonstrated is what you can use at home.

A few useful details
How do I access the course?
Inside your kit, you’ll find a QR code that takes you directly to the online course. Simply scan it with your phone or tablet when you’re ready to begin.
How long does it take?
Our in-person workshop usually takes around two hours. At home, there’s no need to rush — you can pause, take breaks and work through the course at your own pace.
What do I need at home?
Very little — just a container of clean water and two sheets of kitchen paper. The specialist silk painting materials you need are included in the kit.
Do you deliver internationally?
Yes. International delivery is available, so the course and kit can travel well beyond our studio in Huntly.
Can I send it as a gift?
Yes. The Course & Kit can be sent directly to someone as a creative gift, whether for a birthday, Christmas, Mother’s Day or simply as something thoughtful to enjoy at home.
