I'm designing a four day BATIK WORKSHOP to be taught at MIND SET APOTHECARY on Vashon Island this summer! Exact date, time and price is still in the works but this will be in the same place I took the Natural Indigo Dye workshop last summer, as well as the herbalism classes. It's a sweet space run by a generous and sweet woman named Mardi who is a master herbalist and great supporter of artists. It is a healing spa with herb infused private baths and sells herbs and all the good things, including hand made eclectic clothing! I'm lucky enough to hang some of my batik apparel there, and the shop has tarot decks so I brought some of my Tarot of the Pomegranate decks which I'd published last year - though they're all sold out now. This summer I should have my new formatted deck published by then because I will also be teaching a Tarot class there and I should have my decks! Both classes are in the works. Outside of Batik and Tarot I'll be teaching an art camp for kids in the Seattle area through the company I work for, thankfully I don't really have to use my brain on that one. But putting my Batik and the Tarot classes together is going to be a big deal as I have never taught either before! But it's about time I do this no? Teaching to adults is a lot different than kids, a lot easier and more intellectually rewarding I hope :D
