Class Size: 5 to 10 (participants must be at least 16 years of age)
Description:
In this class you’ll learn how to create custom batik fabric for a quilt, wall hanging or garment. The batik process generates complex, stitch-able designs with wax resist and color layering on fabric.
Wax is applied to fabric with a stamp called a tjap (pronounced chop). Several choices of images are offered; turtle, irises, dragonfly, butterfly, lily, gecko, square geometric.
Colors are painted in layers alternating with wax. An optional crackling technique produces a marbled effect, it’s seen as navy blue background lines in the turtle design above. Finally, the piece is ironed to remove the wax and set the paint colors.
Each student receives guidance for developing design elements and using subtle color concepts such as value contrast, temperature contrast and color passages to unify the design.
Stitching suggestions for embroidery, beading and quilting are offered
