Barbara Matthiessen with Dorothy Egan and Chris Malone

Love the look of batik fabrics but not the price tag? We will show you how to quickly and easily produce your own batik fabric using 9 different techniques. You will also learn 2 ways to do a washable image transfer process. Once you learn our techniques you will be able to add the international look of batik to your designs in quilts, wall hangings, table linens, clothing, totes, and cover photo albums and journals with your own unique fabric creation.

You will leave class with 9 square feet of dyed fabric suitable for a multitude of projects. Additional sample techniques using dye paper and preprinted fabrics will be included.

We will also have some finished samples to inspire and show some of the ways the fabrics can be used. Once you learn the techniques your personal design skills will find many more applications.
