My name is Teena Hughes and I'm a silk artist, textile designer creating fabulous handpainted silks, linen and cotton for wearable art and interior design. I hope you find something here you like! Contact me for Commissioned artworks. Join me in Paris for a fabulous Silk Adventure!
What a wonderful day was had by all at the recent Silk Painting Workshop in Sydney. Even though winter has set in and it was pouring all day long, we surounded ourselves with fabulous silk in bright bright designs.
I interviewed one of my students while she was learning to painting on silk with cold wax and silk dyes - it's only a couple of minutes long, I hope you enjoy it:
The Silk Painting Workshop on Saturday was a lot of fun, and my students' results were fantastic!

I've never met a bunch of totally fearless women when it came to their first ever lesson of painting on silk - it was a joy to watch!

I've used some of my photos to create a slideshow: - hover your mouse over the photo to stop the show and read the Description - move mouse away from slideshow and it will start again.
Above: If you'd like to speed up the slideshow, or slow it down, use the controls in the bottom left corner - use the hyphen or minus button for 'slower', and the plus sign + for 'faster' - cool!
I've also created a sample presentation/slideshow using SlideSix.com - and here's my first attempt - there are only 3 photos, and if I''m happy with the way it works, I'll add the rest to the presentation/slideshow. Let me know what you think!
Here is the Presentation - click the Play Now button(which appears underneath the presentation) to get started:
