Let's Talk About a Hands on Approach to Designing Batiks!
Saturday, September 21, 2024 9:00 a.m. - doors will open at 8:30 (Note: this is a free event but registration is required to make sure we have a seat for you.)
Whether you love working with batiks, haven't tried them before, or are just interested in the design process of the fabrics we use in quilting, join Karen Gibbs, Design Director of Batiks for Riley Blake Designs for a fun morning of everything batiks.
Karen's background includes designing everything from sweaters, knits, and wovens for the apparel industry to designing regular cottons for quilting and finally finishing her passion with batiks. She's been designing exclusively batiks for almost 10 years now and loves the challenge of creating each and every colorway.
Take a journey with her as she goes through the design process, color applications, choosing factories to work with, and production challenges which all have an impact on those gorgeous batiks!
There's lots of content in her presentation, including video, photos, similar to a travel log and of course batik processes--the ones we love, but also those you might be unfamiliar with. This is an informal presentation, with questions encouraged.
