Resist projects by my students

 

  
This semester, I've been teaching my surface design class, the first third of which is essentially dye chemistry across classes of dye and their affect on various fiber contents of textiles. The next bit involves using that knowledge to make informed decisions about different surface design techniques. This round of projects involved resist techniques, including wax resist/batik. Check out their fantastic projects!
