Modern Batik Art

Modern Batik is a refined Ugandan, East African technique where wax is applied to fabric using water-soluble dyes. The effect that can be achieved through resistant dyeing often results in amazing, unpredictable textures and tones. The main goal, when working with Modern Batik art, is to enjoy the medium and allow the versatility of wax and dyes to reveal itself gradually on fabric. Modern Batik allows for personal mentorship, artistic discovery, creativity, and self-expression. Additionally, this technique is an effective strategy that is engaging and therapeutic to participants of all ages and skill levels.
