Simple Batik with Liz Train (19 May 2026)

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Register Online Now through April 30, 2026.

Join us for Simple Batik with Liz Train.

With her lively, inventive approach to making art, Liz will show you how to make your imagination come to life with color and wax.

This class is open to all skill levels!

Batik is an Indonesian word meaning writing with wax. Waxed areas create a resist design that dyes and paint cannot penetrate. Traditional batik techniques involve successive applications of wax and dye, submersing the fabric in a dye vat, one color at a time and layering the wax resist.

In this class we use a more modern technique of painting diluted acrylic paints instead of vat dyes. This allows the artist to create a variety of colors next to each other without the colors mixing with the previous layer. Traditional Indonesian tools and brushes will be used to apply hot soy wax resist to the fabric. Resist and dyed areas can be layered to create complex designs and lovely textures. Students will be able to create several samples of finished artworks.

There will be an additional $25 supply fee payable to the instructor which includes: one yard of fabric, paints, dyes, wax, and glue.

What to bring:

$25 supply fee
Wear old clothes or bring an apron.
Students may wish to bring other fabrics after they have used the yard of white cotton polyester that will be included in the supply fee.

Rigid Heddle Weaving I with Reina Young (23 May 2026)

Sat, 23 May 2026 19:00:00 GMT

Register Online Now through May 9, 2026.

Join us for Rigid Heddle Weaving I with Reina Young

This class introduces new weavers to the portable rigid heddle loom. Weavers have the option to create a scarf, table runner, or placemats. We will go over different pattern techniques, play with color palettes, experiment with various fibers, and learn how to warp and dress the loom.

The rigid heddle loom is essentially a rectangular, wooden frame loom. However, it differs from the simple frame looms that are now readily available and often used for tapestry, as it has space for a heddle/reed, making it capable of producing sheds (gaps or spaces) to weave through. It is a 2 shaft loom, but has further reaching capabilities.

This class is open to any skill level. There will be an additional supply fee of $20, to include yarn and weaving tools, payable to the instructor on the first day of class. All supplies and materials will be provided.

What to Bring:

$20 supply fee
Notebook and pen
