SUN & SOY WORKSHOP:
CREATE A SUN PRINT & SOY WAX BATIK
ON FABRIC
Saturday, January 22, 2022
10 am – 4 pm
Level: All Levels Welcome
REGISTER HERE
Develop richly patterned fabrics, learn versions of traditional surface design techniques, see how textile pigments, modified soy wax “batik”, and a faux “sun-print” transforms plain fabric into original textiles that can be hung as works of art or used to create apparel, quilts, or home décor.
Apply soy wax as a resist with contemporary batik techniques (stamping, drawing, and painting), layer colors and designs with the fabric paints. Create a second piece by arranging interesting objects on fabric using fluid fabric paint. As the paint dries on the fabric, the objects will leave an impression. Completed pieces can also be further embellished with printing, stenciling, or fabric markers. Participants are encouraged to experiment and explore the versatility of both techniques.
