Silk Painting: Floating Through the Universe

Thursday, April 235:30—7:30 PMCommunity RoomMillbury Public Library128 Elm Street, Millbury, MA, 01527

Have you ever wanted to slow down time and feel what it’s like to float in space? Would you like to explore color as pure energy—moving freely, expanding, and transforming without control or fear of mistakes? Join artist Lidia for a calm, immersive silk painting experience inspired by the vastness, mystery, and silence of the Universe in honor of Massachusetts Space Week.

We will not be learning how to paint or following strict techniques. Instead, we will watch how color drifts across silk like cosmic dust, how layers merge like distant galaxies, and how unexpected forms appear—just as they do in space. This workshop is about letting go, trusting the process, and allowing your own inner Universe to unfold on silk. By the end, you will create a one-of-a-kind cosmic piece that carries a sense of movement, depth, and flight. 

All materials will be provided; just bring your curiosity and sense of wonder.

This class is for teen and adult patrons ages 14 and up.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the popularity of our art programs, the Millbury Public Library will approve patrons by lottery and require that you arrive five to ten minutes early for the class. If you are not on time, your registration will be cancelled. Late arrivals will not be accepted into the program, and that space will be filled with patrons from the waiting list. Once the program has begun, a sign will be posted on the doors to let patrons know that they cannot enter after this time, out of respect for the presenter. If you are unable to attend, please contact the library 24 hours in advance at 508-865-1181, so that we may contact a patron from the waiting list. Thank you.
