Watercolor Batik is a technique consisting of using wax on rice paper to create an age old art that has been around since the 4th century. In this two-day workshop, you will learn how to create beautiful batik works that are amazing! Each class will also start with a short yoga stretch to help students relax and stretch stiff back, neck, and shoulders.

Beginner classes are rewarding to watch people realize that they have creative skills. She loves to watch students open their eyes to the beauty around them while inspiring them to bring out their own vision. The best compliment she has ever been given is “you taught me to see”!
