You are invited to join us for Batik to Stitch, a two-day class with Laura Smith on Saturday, October 11 and Sunday, October 12, 2025 at the Masonic Center, 4537 Country Club Rd, Winston-Salem, N 27104. We will meet from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day with a lunch break. Register here: https://www.jweventsgroup.com/piedmontchapteregabatiktostitch
Batik can create complex, stitchable designs with color layering on fabric. Wax is applied to fabric with a stamp called a tjap (pronounced “chop”). Several choices of images are offered—a turtle, irises, dragonfly, butterfly, gecko, owl, sunflower, daylily, and small geometric design. Students can make two to four pieces. Colors are painted in layers alternating with more wax. An optional crackling technique gives a marbled effect seen as navy blue lines in the turtle design above. Safety measures are emphasized throughout the class.
Students learn the subtleties of the batik process on Day 1. On Day 2, they create stitch plans for their designs or make more batik images. Each student receives individual guidance for developing design elements and using subtle color concepts to unify the design. A shared class stash of threads, beads, tulle, and mixed media is available giving the full range of color options for embroidery and embellishment.
Students will receive a kit of materials & will have a small list of simple materials to bring!
Cost is $175 for non-EGA members -- includes kit, instruction and lunch each day. Discounts available for EGA members
