In this six-week mixed-media series, young artists will explore the magic of Batik-inspired fabric art using a kid-friendly glue-resist technique. This is one of those processes that feels a little like science, a little like magic — and always results in wow moments. Each week, students will build skills step-by-step as they design, resist, dye, and reveal their own fabric creations. We’ll talk about pattern, color layering, and global art traditions while encouraging kids to follow their own ideas and artistic voice. The slow, intentional nature of Batik is such a beautiful contrast to our busy days — it teaches patience, problem-solving, and trust in the creative process. Throughout the session, artists will work on a variety of functional and display-worthy pieces, such as tea towels, tote bags, and small wall hangings, with optional holiday-inspired designs woven in (think snowflakes, stars, hearts, leaves, and festive patterns). Every piece will be completely unique — just like the artist who made it. This class is perfect for kids who enjoy hands-on projects, experimenting with color, and creating meaningful art they can actually use or gift. ✨ Ages: 7+ ✨ Length: 6 weeks ✨ Focus: Glue-resist Batik, fabric dyeing, pattern design, creative confidence No prior experience needed — just curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to try something new.
