Create Wearable Art Silk Water Marbling in Los Angeles (opens in a new tab)

Every scarf is completely unique and can never be recreated exactly the same way again. The experience takes place in my working Los Angeles artist’s studio and is limited to just four guests, allowing plenty of individual guidance and time to experiment.
