Join us Sunday, October 6th to learn the ancient tradition of wax batik, an intriguing technique of applying wax resist on fabric to be over-dyed. In this workshop, you will explore various application techniques and tools, with possible results ranging from intricate details, bold geometrics, to fields of abstract textures. In this 5 hour class, time will be given to practice techniques before creating an original design to suit your vision. You will leave with a set of sample swatches and a finished 22” square of organic cotton. Your finished piece can be worn as a bandanna, hung in a window- or sewn into something of your choosing!
