Sunday, September 21st from 9:00AM-4:00PMBatik is a wax-resistant dyeing technique with a rich and extensive history, tracing back thousands of years and originating in Java, Indonesia. While batik on fabric is the most familiar and practiced art form, a lesser known technique involves utilizing the batik practice with Japanese rice paper.Guided by multimedia artist Jeanne Lally, students first create a small “practice” piece to familiarize themselves with the basic skills and materials. Next, students will choose an image and then trace their designs onto rice paper, alternating between applying wax and watercolor paint, then finally removing the wax to reveal a rich, luminous painting. No previous painting or batik experience is required.$99 workshop fee does not include materials. The $20 materials kit can be purchased from the instructor at the beginning of the workshop.NOTE: Eventbrite charges non-refundable processing fees for online payments and now displays these fees in the total ticket price shown on this event listing.NOTE: This class can be messy; students are encouraged to wear play clothing or an apron.We will have an hour break for lunch midday. The studio will be closed during this break, but there are nearby parks where you can eat lunch if you brought your own, or you can check out one of the local restaurants in the area.About the instructor: A lifelong multimedia artist, Jeanne Lally has studied under various artists and delved into many art mediums throughout her life. She is most influenced by her mother, Barbara Lally, herself a self-taught and very accomplished artist. The list of art mediums they have both studied/produced is quite long, including but not limited to enamel on copper, watercolor, oil painting, pastel, shibori, rug hooking, embroidery, pysanky and batik.
