Resist dyeing has roots in several cultures and can be done via “mechanical” methods (shibori, tie-dye); “chemical methods” (i.e., batik), and Ikat (wrapping with yarn coated in resist).

In this workshop, we will use brushes, tjanting tools, and “stamps” to apply wax and dye on fabric to create either pattern or figurative designs — your choice. Once a design is complete, we will remove the wax by dipping the fabric in boiling water, and then scraping it off with sponges.

We will supply the wax, dye, tools, and equipment.

You will bring a 100% cotton item that you would like to use as your canvas.

You can create something to frame, use, or wear, but please keep the size of the item no larger than a t-shirt or tea towel.

Program limited to 8.

Snacks and beverages will be served.
