1:00 PM | Reverse Batik with Johanne Beerbaum
The idea in some ways can be related to the idea of Russian Easter eggs but in a much simpler way. Colored denim will have a wax resist you paint on the yardage to protect the original color of the fabric, somewhat on the idea of a stencil. Pictures will show up like the colored areas when using a stencil but what is covered will be what you paint as the design. When dry, the fabric is gently crushed in order to make a spiderweb of lines that after the fabric is bleached will show up lighter as well as all untreated areas. The wax will be removed by heating with a steam iron over a sandwich of absorbent papers on top and underneath your piece. Examples will be available to use or any simple example can be drawn up to use. This is useful as the cover on a pillow, the bib of an apron, a piece of clothing like a vest or as part of a quilt or table runners and place mats for a few examples.
Fee is $20 payable at the time of registration. |
