This 2 hour class is designed to teach the basics of using the batik art form to create a 10x10 floral painting on silk. 

This is intended as a beginner class for adults, no experience required. You will learn how to stretch your silk, draw using hot wax and a traditional tjanting tool, and paint with silk dyes. I’ll show you examples of how you can use your finished piece as mounted wall art or as fiber art. I will also explain how the dyes are steam set and set with dye fixative although that process is done at home by me. 

You will receive your finished piece within 3-4 days. 

Cost: $75

Minimum Class Size: 4*

Maximum Class Size: 6

*Please note if the class minimum is not met 48 hours in advance, the class will be canceled and registered students refunded.
