Soy Wax Class...

Saturday I spent the day leading a class in

Soy Wax Batik

Soy Wax Tools...

Heating up the Soy Wax 

before the students arrived...

After a quick demo showing the students

how to use the tools...

the students were getting down....with the wax!

The Tjanting tool was popular throughout the day...

After waxing....it was time to choose paint:

Pebeo Setacolor Textile Paints

1 part paint to 3 or 4 parts water...

You can see the wax resists the paint...

Found Objects from around the house...

Soy Wax on Fabric......Before Painting

Soy Wax on Fabric.......After Painting

The students will air dry their fabrics at home...

Then heat-set the textile paint the next day...

Students showing off their Jello Printed Journal Quilts

It was a great class!
The students were eager to learn and very excited about learning this new surface design technique.

I have lots of great images to share, but not enough time right now, since we are still on the road teaching more classes.
When I return to Oregon I will create a slide show of the class photos to share with all of you.
