My first Summer Batik Workshop is happening Friday August 1st through Sunday August 3rd 1-5 pm at Mind Set Apothecary on Vashon Island!!!
Only 8 spaces are available! You'll be able to sign up through the Mind Set Apothecary website at mindsetapothecary.com
We'll paint with beeswax and learn how to use the traditional Tjanting batik tools, and paintbrushes. We will begin by experimenting on tea towels and making our way up to t-shirts. At the end of each class we will submerge our items in the dye bath for 15-30 min before "batching" placing our item in a plastic bag to set for 12 hours before rinsing it out and line drying it - in time for next day's class and our second layer of wax.
You can take your batch home rinse and line dry or I can do this for you.
Feel free to bring your own apparel to paint on, must be 95-100% cotton, linen, silk, hemp or rayon.
On the last day we will boil out our batik and see what amazing art you have created! You should have several finished pieces by the last day.
