Join me for a fun night of artful experimentation, no previous art experience necessary! We’ll start off the evening with wine and appetizers while watching a demonstration on the batik process using beeswax, papers, inks and pastels. Then dive in and create your own keepsake valentines. Everything included: papers, tools, inks, pastels, cards, envelopes- and food and beverage! Read below to find out more and sign up. Space is limited, so grab a girlfriend and join me at the studio for a different kind of night out!
ABOUT the WORKSHOP:
Batik was traditionally an Indonesian method of hand printing textiles by using wax as a dye repellant on fabric. In a contemporary take on this, we will be applying the same principles on paper to create Valentines!
Don't be intimidated by the description- this class is geared towards those with little to no art background. The process will be broken down, and you will be guided through the individual steps with a demonstration and individual coaching, if needed. We will be drawing hearts or writing with wax using a tjanting tool or brush, then spritzing or brushing ink on papers. Then finish up the design using either more ink or pastel, and iron out the wax. You can layer and collage them together, or leave as is. We will be creating matching envelopes for at least 5 of your creations.
All materials included, including the list of materials below. You are welcome to bring your own material to make then more personalized, if you so wish, but that it is totally optional. Think of using copies of old love letters, pages of a book of love poetry, or your favorite quote! Thinner papers work best.

brushes
pan pastels
chalk pastels
parchment paper

tjanting tools (to apply wax)
White wine, red wine, water, and appetizers will be available throughout the night. IF you have special requirements, feel free to BYO food or drink.
