In sorting through my stash recently, I came across a treasure trove of sarasa textiles. Are you familiar with sarasa? It’s a category of Japanese textiles that includes batik as well as block and some stencil techniques. They’re all beyond beautiful – and one of my favorite versions are Edo Sarasa and Wazarasa, patterns printed with dyes brushed through stencils.

Last year I offered a sarasa class through Botanical Colors, a version executed using vegetables and natural dyes to print the imagery. This is the second in this series. I hope you’ll join me!
Here are just a few of the samples from my collection

Well be covering how to select the best printing material, choosing and preparing fabric; carving and plotting both simple and complex repeating images; working with overlapping colors;  stains vs pigments; working with mordants and setting colors and a whole lot more!

Once youre all signed up, youll be directed to our class web page where youll find the Zoom link, a list of supplies you’ll want to gather, as well as special online shopping offers available only to those signed up for the class.
  Dont dilly-dally! Sarasa I filled up quickly. However, if the class should fill before youre ready to commit, just drop me an email and Ill put you on the waiting list for this class, or make sure that you are the first to be notified when the class is offered again.
