Sun April 19 2:00-5:00 Batik dye workshop $40
African Style Batik Fabric Printing and Dyeing
When I went to Ghana, I learned Batik printing and Dyeing from the ladies at Vegas fabric shop in the Volta region. With this process we will create simple designs by dipping foam carvings and cookie cutters into wax then print wax onto our fabric. The wax works as a resist for the dyeing process. We will use hot water to clean the wax from the fabric leaving a beautiful batik design.
we will create a batik dish towel along with several 9"x9" cloth batiks to be strung together to create prayer flags.
Each participant will have an opportunity to explore batik and dye using several application techniques including Tjanting needle and stamping
class fee $40 ... $10 reserve ticket $30 cash on day of class
