About this tour
A two-hour private silk-painting class in Valencia where you'll design and paint your own 55×55cm scarf under the guidance of a Homofaber-listed artisan. Valencia's silk heritage runs deep—the city joined UNESCO's Silk Road in 2017—and this workshop lets you create a wearable keepsake while learning traditional techniques from a master craftsperson. You'll collect your finished scarf the next day.
Highlights
- Paint directly onto a 55×55cm silk scarf with professional dyes and brushes
- Learn from a Homofaber-recognised Valencian silk artisan
- Pre-drawn design on scarf; you add colour and personal touches
- Collect your finished, ready-to-wear scarf within 24 hours
- Includes materials, apron, and refreshments during the session
- Private class format—one-on-one instruction
- Evening slots available (5:00 p.m. or 7:30 p.m.)
What to expect
You'll arrive at the studio and meet your artisan instructor, who'll brief you on the scarf's pre-drawn design and explain the silk-painting process. You'll then spend roughly 90 minutes applying colour using brushes and specialist silk dyes, with guidance on blending, layering, and technique. The instructor will adjust pacing to your preferences—whether you want to work carefully through detail or move more freely across the fabric. You'll finish with tea or coffee while your scarf sets.
After you leave, the scarf undergoes a 24-hour curing process. You'll return to the same studio location to collect your finished piece, ready to wear or display.
