November 29th 2023. Batik Workshop, together with Christina Szabo in Budapest.
Together with my friend Christina Szabo planned “Volumes”, a Batik Workshop to be held at Carina Studio, a nice and special venue located in an historical building in Budapest.
The workshop was 8 hours long for 7 students. The main purpose was showing how to build volumes or 3D effects by layering with the “cold” wax. I was in charge of the waxing process, meanwhile Christina managed the dye process with reactive dyes. Since the sample was in different blue tones given by the organic Indigo, the students decided to dye their works monochrome in blue too, using the Midnight Blue Procion.
It was a lovely experience. The students were really willing to learn a new technique getting beautiful works at the end of the journey.
Definitely we were a good Batik Team working together!! I really thank Christina for giving me this lovely opportunity and receiving me at her beautiful home in Szentendre.
