Intro to Watercolor Batik with Kim Gordon

Watercolor batik is a modern twist on the ancient Javanese art of batik. Participants don't need to know watercolor technique or how to draw - just a willingness to experiment with color and design. Batik is one of the oldest ways to create patterned fabric besides weaving together threads of different colors. It uses a fluid pigment or dye and a "resist" - hot wax - to slowly build designs. The instructor will make the process more approachable by using watercolor and Kinwashi, a Japanese paper.​

KIM GORDON is a Minneapolis painter, batik artist, illustrator and teacher. She was first introduced to batik during an oil painting residency. Her initial intrigue soon became serious study of this ancient and process-oriented technique. Kim’s passion is the natural world and her years of plein air oil painting have provided a foundation for her work in batik.
