Welcome to a bright new class from Chrissy. Wax resist dyeing of fabric originates from 4th century Egypt, and the process has developed into an enjoyable art form.
We will look at a natural and sustainable version using soy wax and fabric paints to create a richly coloured textile piece. We will cover how to apply wax and colours in pattern making and objective linear art, applied with as a fluid water colour style, or as solid hues. You can take home the completed fabric piece to add to a frame, wall hanging, clothing or cushions.
