batik

Indigo Dye Batik Workshop

Join us for a full-day, meditative, hands-on workshop to learn about the art of batik. This introductory-level workshop will walk you through the basics of how to use a canting, a traditional pen-like tool used to design batik tulis or “handwritten” batik. You’ll also learn about specific batik patterns and the history of how fabric can be used as a form of storytelling. After creating your design on a large cotton handkerchief, you will dye it using a natural indigo dye bath.
