x stitch see AMAZING samples made by our talented instructor: 1, 2, x stitch

learn all the basics of batik, tools and process, from design to wax painting to dyeing and wax removal with artist amelia parkison edelman. the project taught during this workshop has been designed to give you an introduction and a strong foundation in the art of batik: a one-color handpainted fabric that can either be stapled to stretcher bars and hung on a wall--it is art, after all--or sewn into a throw pillow or clothing or quilt, plus the skills and knowledge necessary to make more complicated projects at home. please bring images and/or design inspiration for discussion.
