"Patricia Mason began perfecting the ancient art of batik as a part of her thesis study, which she completed in 2006," says Freda Powell. The Barnwell Art Center is currently showing 31 of Mason's batik pieces.
Also exhibiting at the Barnwell Center in the Corridor Gallery is Karen Harrington. Her work includes batiks and watercolors.
Batik is the art of decorating cloth by using wax and dye.
A series of batik events will include an all-day workshop on Saturday, September 8 from 9 am to 3 pm.
A limited number of gallery walks with discussion and hands-on workshops for high school art students are supported in part by a grant from the Shreveport Regional Arts Council’s Regrant Program, as are school tours of the exhibition.
To register for the batik workshop or to schedule a school tour, call (318) 673-7703
