Silk is one of the most unusual and exciting mediums to work on, it literally drinks the colour. Vivid, stunning and vibrant are just some of the words used to describe silk art.
In this six-part tutorial, you'll discover the wonders of silk painting and receive expert tuition from world-renowned silk artist, Kim Michelle Toft. With more than 35 years of experience, Kim’s work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally and her incredible silk artwork is also featured in her multi-award-winning environmental children’s books.
In this pre-recorded class, with step by step expert instruction and summaries at the end of each stage, you will transform a blank piece of white silk into a finished silk masterpiece in less than four hours!
You'll also receive six free templates to use for your designs on silk and unlimited email support from Kim if any queries should arise.
Kim’s lifelong love of the ocean and its inhabitants have served as an inspiration to create her stunning hand-painted silk artworks and now she wants to share her knowledge so you too can experience the incredible beauty and possibilities of silk!

Recent reviews of Painting on Silk Craft Kit

  • 5/5 from Jacqueline Belliu, attended Aug 2024: Get a new courier. Otherwise really happy with teaching standard and equipment supplied to me
  • 5/5 from Rebeka Ryding, attended Nov 2023: When I opened the box, I was happy to see the quality of materials provided is excellent. The kit includes everything you need to get started right away, no rummaging for tape or pencils, literally everything is here. The silk had been cut to the right size and even the frame had been taped up ready for me, I was pleasantly surprised by the care that had gone into creating the kits. Speaking of which, a USB is included with tutorial videos on it and I was blown away, the video production quality is absolutely excellent, well edited, multiple camera angles and a summary in note form at the end of the video. Fantastic! Above all, Kim Michelle Toft is a wonderful teacher, and she seems genuinely committed to passing on her knowledge, and making sure you learn everything you need to know to silk paint on your own. She generously shares her techniques, demonstrates exactly what materials you need and where to source them, etc. I taught myself oil painting a couple of years ago, and learning this stuff was so complicated, having an experienced teacher show you everything is an invaluable gift of knowledge. And best of all, I had a lot of fun with my silk painting! The designs included are gorgeous and I enjoyed the combination of bright coloured inks and beautiful gold gutta. I found it to be a relaxing experience, and am keen to do more. Highly recommended!
  • 5/5 from Christina Sheers, attended Jan 2023: This kit is amazing. I recommend it. The video instructions in parts are clear and easy to follow. The kit is all ready to go with everything needed so you can finish three silks. I am so keen to try all kinds of silk painting now. Kim Michelle Toft is a talented artist and to have her templates to use and knowledge is priceless. Thanks so much.
  • 5/5 from Jessica Douglass, attended Jun 2022: This is one of my favourite artists. I met her in person a few years and when I saw her class on ClassBento I knew I had to try this class
  • 5/5 from Peta Wells, attended Feb 2022: I received the kit and it looks great. I haven’t had a chance yet to complete the project but look forward to doing so in the near future.

I have been a full time silk artist for more than 33 years. My love of the ocean and the coastal habitats which support it are the driving force behind my silk paintings and award winning environmental picture books. I regularly run silk painting workshops from my gallery , Sea Silks Gallery, in Ballina , NSW. I also recently realised a digital tutorial , How To Paint On Silk For Beginners with an optional silk painting kit. I have a BG in teaching and still visit many schools throughout Australia as an author and illustrator. I believe we can all help heal the planet through nurturing nature , art and education.
