Fiber and mixed media artist, Andrea Huffman brings her artworks to Palm Beach County at three different venues. Don’t miss her exhibit at Daggerwing Nature Center in Boca Raton (NOW through December 30, 2021). Check out her one-of-a-kind pillows, scarves, and journals for holiday gift giving at the Boca Museum Art School Faculty Holiday Market (December 14 & 15). Sign up and take a “Sun Print with Soy Wax Batik” Workshop on Saturday, January 22, 2022 at the Lighthouse ArtCenter in Tequesta.   The Rickie Report shares more details and some SNEAK PEEKS.

Andrea Huffman tells The Rickie Report, “I am intrigued with the small nuances in nature, the interdependence within every aspect of the natural world and its relationship to humanity.  Fiber offers tactile and dimensional qualities unlike other media, while essentially maintaining a two-dimensional surface”.

SUN    &    SOY  WORKSHOP:

CREATE  A  SUN  PRINT  &  SOY  WAX  BATIK

ON  FABRIC

Level:  All Levels Welcome

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.
