Workshop Description:
The workshop will be a hands-on opportunity to create a Round Batik Suncatcher. You will learn how to use a wax-resist to create intricate patterns, then apply dye on a 9.5" stretched silk round.
All Materials will be provided - Just bring your imagination!
ABOUT THE ARTIST | AMY CASSIDY
As an artist I visualize color in motion, and that is what I attempt to project with my unusual painting style. The allure of this style of art to me, is that the viewer gets the privilege to see, feel, and interpret whatever they want. My take on abstract expressionism is a little different than what you may have come to expect of typical abstract art. I have made it my goal to redefine what most people think of when they envision an abstract image.
I’m inspired by the world around me. The spatial relationships between color, line, composition, light and nature influence what I do. With roots in traditional painting, I enjoy fusing painting fundamentals with technology in an abstract, modern application.
