Picture: Detail of "Transformation Over Time" by Midori Abe. 70" X 70"
For more than 2500 years, artists throughout the world have used wax and dye to create patterns and images on fabric - a technique known universally as batik. Now, we welcome the World Batik Conference Boston 2005, the first convention in the United States to focus on batik in its totality. Its scope ranges from the anonymous Tulis batik workers of Indonesia, the innovators of Adire batik in Africa, and the Rozome masters in Asia, to the multiple enthusiasts in Europe and North America. The three-day conference, workshops, and accompanying exhibitions have attracted the interest of artists, scholars, and educators from six continents. It will focus on the development of batik around the world, the international significance of this art form and its global popularity, innovations, education, cultural diversity, technical training, and networking.
The World Batik Conference Organizing Committee joins with our host, Massachusetts College of Art, to invite you to Boston for this milestone event. Surface designers, educators, collectors, designers, multi-media artists, and quilters will all find this event a valuable and stimulating opportunity.
