Learn the traditional Indonesian art of Batik with Sharon Akers

artsHUB @ Watlington Methodist Church

Workshop information Join us for a unique and creative batik workshop where you will learn the ancient Indonesian technique of layering melted wax and dyes on textiles. Explore the vibrant world of fabric dyes and colour mixing as you create beautiful pieces of work. You will experiment with different tools and methods for applying hot wax to paper and fabrics before hand-painting with cold water dyes to create samples and a larger piece on fabric, either an abstract design or something inspired by nature or landscapes. Please bring any designs or images you may want to use as inspiration. Please dress appropriately as you will be working with fabric dye and hot melted wax. Biography Sharon Akers Having taught Art and Design in schools and colleges for over 30 years, I am now working independently offering a wide range of art workshops. My classes (AkersArtClasses) are always geared towards exploration for all abilities. They are relaxed and informal with the aim that each student takes away at least one piece of artwork. Although sculpture and mixed media is my preferred medium for my own work, having taught art for so long, I can cater for a wide variety of techniques and materials. I often use the beautiful surrounding Chiltern Downs for my inspiration and enjoy walking, looking, photographing and collecting before creating artwork in the studio.Instagram @akersartclasses
