Procession of the Species Olympia: Batik Basics! (2 hour class)

Suggested Donation: $7.00

Learn Celebratory Batik Basics!

Appropriate for people age 8 and up. All kids under age 14 must be accompanied by an adult (accompanying adults don't have to pay if they are not making a project themselves).

Join us to learn basic batik skills.

Created in the Procession of the Species Art studio long ago, this form of batik is best described as “Celebratory”, because celebrate is exactly what it does – beautiful colors and designs flying high as banners and windsocks, worn as tunics, wrapped around drums, making feathers, scales, and fur for your creature.

The Procession batiks are made using a simple method, where designs are drawn with warm soy wax on fabric, then the fabric is painted. Once the wax is removed, the design pops out in white against the colorful background.

This class will focus on learning the method by making a small beginner project. We will make little flags using premade designs or one you create. This will teach you all you need to know to make something spectacular later during open studio hours.

With basic skills you learn here, it’s all easily done to start or complete your costume for The Procession of the Species Celebration!

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
