WORKSHOP: Batik & Dye Painting & Printing Techniques


  • Haystack Mountain School 89 Haystack School Drive Deer Isle, ME, 04627 United States (map)

Students will paint, screen print, and batik on cotton using fiber-reactive dyes, creating dazzling layers of color. Batik techniques will include using a tjanting tool, stamps, and brushes, while thickened dye will be used for printing and painting. Students can access the Haystack Fab Lab, if desired, to cut vinyl for screen printing or cut by hand. Students of all levels will benefit from these techniques, playing with the crackling effects of wax and the bold possibilities of saturated color. Please note that we will not be printing continuous yardage during this workshop. All levels welcome.
