Wax artistically

BATIK
WORKSHOPS
OFFERED
LOCALLY

WHY DON'T you learn to wax ar-
tistically in 1990?

North Vancouver batik artist
Lisa Dowding will be glad to show
you how.

Dowding will be teaching a
variety of one-day batik
workshops and ongoing batik
classes on the North Shore in the
new year.

Students will learn the history,
techniques and theory of batik as
well as get a chance to explore in
the medium themselves.

‘*T think learning by doing is the
best process,’ Dowding said.
“Batik is instant gratification. In
an afternoon you can have some-
thing really neat to take home with
you.”

The classes are for all levels,
from beginners tc the experienced.
Students will be provided with
18°°X 18°’ squares of cloth and all
other necessary materials.

“I'd really like to stress it's for
everyone. It's a really fun pro-
cess,"’ she said. She’s called some
of the workshops Batik For the
Hopelessly Unartistic to prove the
point.

Dowding will be teaching
workshops at the West Vancouver
Recreation Centre for kids on Jan.
14 and for adults on Jan. 18.

Other workshops scheduled in-
clude March {7 at RecCentre Ron
Andrews, March 10 at Eagle Har-
bour Community Centre and Feb.
7, 14 and 21 in the community
wing of Seycove Community
School.

In addition, there will be a six-
week course at the West Van-
couver Seniors Centre and one-day
workshops at the North Shore
Neighbourhood House and Carson
Graham. Cost for a one-day
workshop will be approximately
$40.
