Class Description

Description

Keep that summer vacation feeling all year long with beautiful batiks you make yourself! This 2000-year-old art form automatically brings to mind all the exotic places that ancient batiks have been found—Egypt, India, China, Africa, Bali, Java and the Middle East. Wear them as sarongs, use them as wall hangings, placemats and tablecloths, or sew them into handbags, pillowcases and more.

RoseMary will teach you to create your own designs using wax, then how to apply layers of colors, and in what order. The technique can also be applied to paper—perfect for scrapbooking or creating stationery.

Class supplies list:
  • A roll of paper towels
  • Plastic gloves for protection
  • 3 cups or jars for washing brushes
  • Hair dryer
  • An iron
  • A stack of old newspapers
Note: The $20 materials fee is due at time of registration.
School Notes: Maps, directions, and parking info are on our website at http://www.wlac.edu/westside/WestsideMapandLegend.pdf. Please contact the school for specific room information. The Westside Extension office is located at the back of Parking Lot 5.
