Instructor: DIANE ALLEN

DIANE ALLEN

Diane is from Salt Lake City, Utah. She began painting silk to make scarves for her head while going through cancer treatment in 2012. Watching the flow of the colors and creating something beautiful was therapeutic for her and got her through some tough times. Since then she studied, practiced and started volunteer teaching at Huntsman Cancer Institute where she is now employed as a part time art instructor.
Diane loves the way the dyes flow on the luxurious silk and how vibrant the colors are. Silk Painting is her passion and she loves sharing it with everyone, when she isn't creating art, she loves to travel and spend time with family.

"We made many beautiful items to take home. The instructor put in a lot of effort, bringing in so many supplies, to make sure the class had a great experience."
-Starleen W.

"This was a fun and unique class. The instructor was obviously in love with her art and with teaching. And, confidentially, I love classes that offer me the opportunity and materials to make a (potentially) grand, huge, mess (not in my own home) as I learn a new skill."
-Amy HJ

"Diane was an amazing instructor and helped us create some gorgeous wearable art. She was knowledgable, approachable and simply a wonderful instructor. Her energy and passion for creating were infectious. I hope she offers more of these classes!"
-Shilo M.

"The class was great and Diane the teacher, was well organized and prepared with all materials. We were all delighted with the scarves we made and took home. Well worth it!"
-Debbie S.
