Soy Wax and Batik Tools

Soy Wax Inspirations Workshop Susan Purney Mark 11

We begin our Soy Wax Workshop with a complete review of both the dyes and the tools used when working with Soy Wax.  While the course features cotton fabrics, the Proceon MX fiber reactive dyes are equally suitable for use on silk, hemp and other plant-based fibers.  Susan demonstrates how to heat your wax and reviews all of the features of soy wax for fabric dyeing.  Susan completes the section with a wonderful review of how to make Dye Charts, Recipe Journals and portable print boards for working on.

Once we have reviewed the basics of working with soy wax, it’s time to have some fun and making marks with soy wax resist is the place to begin.  Scrunch, knot, clamp, stitch your fabrics and poke them through plastic grids!  Then dip, stamp or brush the soy wax on before or after applying your dyes.  Each fabric is a wonderful exploration of color and design.  Soy Wax works with batik tools as well and Susan demonstrates how to use traditional batik tools (tjantings) with soy wax in developing a color grid.

Soy Wax on Silk

Soy Wax Inspirations Workshop Susan Purney Mark 13

Now that we feel more comfortable with our fiber reactive dyes and soy wax process, let’s try a few more techniques, including creating Soy Wax Silk Screens and developing fabrics with Soy Wax.  Using our brush we develop a pattern on the silk screen.  Then we apply some thickened Procion MX dye to the screen and pull it through, revealing a photo-negative pattern underneath.  We move on to combining Soy Wax with other techniques such as Sun Printing with textile paints, Discharge and Soy Wax, and Dy-Na-Flow which further explore the many uses of Soy Wax in your surface design projects.

Our Soy Wax Workshop  includes a 233 page Study eBook, quick chart prepared by Susan, and list of materials you will want to have on hand to enjoy Soy Wax Inspirations.  It includes as well a bonus section on Contemporary Soy Wax Artists, including Christine Amstutz (painterly soy wax), Gil De Vloo (soy wax silk wearables), Daniel Gundlach (soy wax and natural indigo dyes) and Melanie Testa (soy wax on paper and journal projects).  Finally Susan provides some understanding in how she translates her fabrics into finished as we move beyond soy wax into quilting and surface design projects.
