Fylis Peckham can give custom designed workshops in silk painting for any occasion including birthday parties, corporate events, and college seminars. Below are pictures and comments from participants from the most recent workshop taught at St. Mary's College:
"I gained a new method of creating art and also learned about the importance if symbolism in Judaism. I also really enjoyed doing the silk painting!"
"I learned a new way of doing art! I've also been wanting to incorporate Jewish themes into my art so this was inspiring :). I really admire how you are able to take a sacred occassion and add a personalized touch. I loved how you express your faith through art and in a way that everyone can enjoy. It was a lot of fun! Thanks for coming!"
"I had done batik before on fabric, but I hadn't done it in such a detailed design- I'd always just made T-shirts. I enjoyed the chance to work with different materials and focus."
"This was a very soothing experience after a hard day of test-taking. Now i have a present to give my mother!"
"Lots of new information on various art forms that are important in Jewish culture today; I enjoyed the hands on experience of experimenting with the art form myself."
"It was especially interesting to learn to write in Hebrew and make pictures with the writing. I really enjoyed this activity! It was very interactive and was a good way to integrate Jewish culture with art."
