**Limited Sliding Scale tickets are available for this event** Email info@stillmoonarts.ca to request.
Join us for a meditative, hands-on session to learn about the art of batik. This introductory-level workshop will walk you through the basics of how to use a canting, a traditional pen-like tool used to design batik tulis or "handwritten" batik. You'll also learn about specific batik patterns and the history of how fabric can be used as a form of storytelling. You will use batik tools and methods to create a patterned cotton bandana, and we will also lead you through the process of naturally dyeing your bandana with natural Indigo.
This workshop will provide plenty of time for you to work on your design, and is suitable for both beginners and those who already have some experience with Batik and natural dyes.
What to Expect
Suitable for beginners and those experienced with batik and dyeing
We will provide a light snack and drinks.
Spend quality time with other interested dyers in the community.
Part of this event will take place outdoors.
All materials will be provided and you will take your bandana home.

An alumni of LaSalle International College in Jakarta and Sugino Fashion College in Tokyo, Bernarda shares the technique and tradition of storytelling with fashion through The Batik Library, offering unique pieces that blend distinctive patterns with a modern, gender-neutral design for a one-of-a-kind look.

Stanley Park is located in the heart of Vancouver, Canada, and is one of the largest urban parks in North America, covering a thousand acres. The park has more than 400 hectares of forest and is scattered with 500,000 trees, including hundreds of meters of Douglas fir, 800-year-old cedar, moss-dropping maples and a century-old western red cypress. The sea wall trail, which is fully paved with rocks and built by the sea, completely surrounds the entire Stanley Park, which is Vancouver&#39;s most distinctive slow-running trail, bicycle lanes and roller skating routes.
