Kickstart your new year with a creative journey! Join us for a two-part workshop series, where you can explore the beautiful art of batik and the timeless craft of bookbinding. Whether you're looking to try something new or develop a new skill, this series is perfect for beginners and seasoned crafters alike.

Part 1: Batik Workshop
Immerse yourself in the ancient art of Batik, a fabric dyeing technique that uses wax to create intricate patterns, in this hands-on workshop. You’ll learn the basics of Batik, including how to apply wax, use dyes, and design your own custom patterns on fabric. Discover the process of creating a unique piece of art that you can keep to display or bring back to our bookbinding class, where we’ll use your Batik as a cover for a sketchbook bound by hand using the Coptic stitch method. You’re welcome to bring your own image for inspiration, or create a unique repeated pattern using your own creativity or one of the samples provided. By the end of the session, you’ll take home a beautiful, one-of-a-kind Batik piece ready to be transformed into a personalized sketchbook. We can’t wait to create with you!

Part 2: Bookbinding Workshop
Date: January 25, 2024
Time: 2-4p
In this workshop, explore the fascinating world of bookbinding! Whether you're an artist, writer, or simply enjoy crafting, this session will teach you the fundamentals of handcrafting books.
