  • This plan includes a Medium course, a T-shirt (90-XXXL), and a medium tote bag. You'll experience the entire process of the traditional Japanese craft of batik dyeing, from drawing to dyeing and drying. No artistic talent necessary—even children are welcome! A batik dyeing artisan will provide careful instruction. Choose from a variety of pre-designs, or create your own original design. Use a waxed brush to trace the design. Then, don boots, an apron, and gloves, and dye your own design. After dyeing, remove the wax to complete the project. The areas painted with wax remain white, revealing the subtle shading and cracked patterns of the wax. The simple yet profound batik dyeing experience is easy. Your finished piece will take approximately 90-120 minutes to take home. ~Schedule~ 1. Choose your favorite pre-design from the many provided. Original designs are also welcome. 2. Once you've decided on your design, use a waxed brush to trace the design. Dip a brush in heated, melted wax and trace the outline. ③ The cotton fabric with the outline traced in wax is then immersed in dye. Enjoy your own dyeing experience. ④ Soaping: The dyed cotton fabric is placed in a pot of boiling water to remove only the wax from the fabric. ⑤ The cotton fabric with the wax removed is washed with water, dehydrated in a spin dryer, and then dried to complete the process. ⑥ You can take home your finished work on the day. Please take home a precious memory of your time in Kyoto.
