Recently, Deon Best hosted a highly successful Tote Bag workshop at the Clark Toronto. The workshop was a hit among students, who had the opportunity to unleash their creativity and create vibrant and beautiful nature-inspired tote bags. From vibrant floral patterns to bold shapes and designs, each tote bag was a unique reflection of the student's creativity and inspiration! The workshop provided a platform for students to express themselves artistically and connect with like-minded individuals in a creative environment. 🌺🌱🌸    

Deon Best lead a group of enthusiastic youth in the creation of a lovely 4ft x 4ft. Modern Batik Community Mural! Thank you to all the students in attendance! *Mural will be on display at PAMA, stay tuned for details.      https://www.instagram.com/p/C4lyChIJuCg/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==     

When it comes to fostering creativity and self-expression, there's nothing quite like getting hands-on with an art form. That's exactly what a group of students had the opportunity to do recently, as they delved into the world of Modern Batik to create their own unique tote bags. The atmosphere was filled with curiosity, laughter, good vibes, and great music, making it an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.    

  What an incredible sold-out experience, students created beautiful vibrant tote bags on a cozy snowy day! The atmosphere @ PAMA (Peel Art Gallery Museum + Archives) was filled with curiosity, laugher, music and expressive explorations! Thank you to all in attendance.     

This Modern Batik Tote Bag Workshop hosted by Deon Best was a one-of-a-kind experience!! Participants had the chance to learn the fundamentals of Modern Batik, including the techniques of wax application, dyeing, and fabric manipulation. Under Deon's guidance, they created their own personalized tote bags, infused with their unique artistic vision. Special thanks to my friends at The Clark!
