Event Overview

Learn the ancient art of batik while experimenting with double-layered natural dyes! In the first day of class, participants will work with hot beeswax to create a resist on salvaged fabric, using tjanting tools, metal stamps, and brushed wax. Then you will learn to work with a natural dye such as coreopsis or madder root to create your first layer of color.


In the second part of the series, participants will learn how to remove the wax resist from the fabric, and will use basic shibori techniques to create a new layer of resist. Then they will overdye their fabrics with a deep blue natural indigo dye, to create a beautiful and unique piece of fabric.


Please Note: This is a two-day workshop that takes place on Wednesdays, August 22 and August 29 from 6:30pm – 8:30pm. Our November session will take place on Thursdays, November 1 and November 8 from 6:30pm - 8:30pm.
