Watercolor Batik with Erica Qualey

Fridays, September 1 – 29 (no class on September 15)

Watercolor batik is a fun alternative method to traditional batik painting that has been used worldwide for hundreds of years.  In this four-day workshop, we will use Ginwashi rice paper instead of cloth, and watercolor paint instead of dye.  This method is full of surprises. During this class we will first paint by following a design and then everyone will venture off on individual projects.

Erica Qualey lives in mid-coast Maine and works as an artist and illustrator. She received her BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology and has exhibited in Maine and New Hampshire and is represented in private collections throughout the country.  See examples of her work at ericaqualey.weebly.com.
