Take a creative journey into the world of batik and adire (tie and dye) textile-making. Drawing inspiration from his Yoruba roots and Nigerian heritage, Muyiwa, an expert in the field, will guide you through the process of using wax and dye to create intricate patterns and motifs. You will start by applying hot wax to 100% cotton fabrics to create patterns, then immerse them in vibrant dyes. Finally, we'll carefully remove the wax, revealing beautiful, colorful designs. Discover the influence of African culture as you explore the vibrant world of African textiles that hold deep cultural significance. You may infuse your designs with your unique voice, or use African patterns to create a beautiful tablecloth or wall hanging. By the end of the class, you'll have crafted textiles that reflect the beauty and essence of African traditions.
Notes:
$30 materials fee payable to the instructor for fabric, wax, and dyes. If students want to create a wall hanging they will purchase the hardware separately.
