Pebeo Setasilk: vibrant, fluid silk paints, heat-settable and mixable, for gutta, salt and batik techniques on twill, pongee and silk crepe, with accessories for creative projects.
The Setasilk range is used like a traditional silk paint and is suitable for all types of silk, including twill, pongee, crêpe de Chine, georgette and damask silk. Ready to use, fully mixable and easily heat-set by ironing or steaming, these colours preserve the softness, luminosity and finesse of the fabric. Their fluid consistency allows pigments to spread naturally, creating rich and refined effects.
Setasilk supports all major silk painting techniques, including gutta outlining, salt effects, water colour washes, wax batik, sun-printing and traditional methods such as mahaju. The lightening medium makes it possible to create softer shades, while water-based gutta—available in clear, pearlescent and opaque versions—facilitates precise lines and delicate patterns. For best results, application is recommended on silk stretched on a frame or laid on padding to prevent distortion.
