Sketch Books

For inspiration for our book covers we will begin this workshop looking at the exhibition 
Desert Lines: Batiks from Central Australia.   We will then move to our art space and create a batik themed front cover using wax crayons and ink. Once our covers are dry the books will be bound together using a bamboo rod, rubber band and cartridge paper.  

Gain insight into the important exhibition Desert Lines with First Nations Curator, Shonae Hobson. Learn about the unique role that batik played in the lives of Central Desert women and the evolution from batik to painting.
