Shauna, Pam, Anita, Annie and Kaleb all went and did Batik one morning. It is the artistic process of outlining a pattern in wax. From there, it is basically painting by numbers but without numbers for guidance. Instead, selected colors by the participant. Once the colored inks are dried, the material is washed in HOT water to sent the ink and wash away the wax, leaving the patterned art on the material. Can make napkins, tablecloths or tapestries for framing. Also, yards of material has been patterned, then used to make uniform shirts for businesses.
