Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
Batik Chic
| Location: Expo Green |
This is a demonstration of the batik process that will be appearing as a CRAFT project, "Batik Chic." Traditionally, the batik technique entails using wax to block the dyes used to color the fabric. I used wax to block various colors and shades of cold--water dye on cotton fabric.

About the Maker(s)
Teresa Mak
My interest in textiles began as a child, when my mum was a seamstress in downtown Toronto. In a nutshell, I like to make things with my hands. I also like to uncover why things are made the way they are. Now out in LA, I experiment with natural dyes and dye techniques.
