Batik Workshop
Jun 14 | 2 Sessions Available | In-person Only
Register by Jun 1
Join Professor Lisa Marie Barber as she takes us through the steps of batik. Batik is a fabric decorating/dying process where designs are created on fabric using a resist. First, one draws on the fabric with the resist, then, once the resist dries, dye is applied to the fabric. After the dye dries, the resist is washed out revealing the hand drawn design in the original color of the fabric. You will choose the session you are able to attend. Limit of 20.
The Benefits of Chair Yoga

Register by Jun 13
Come, listen and learn as Jana Gasiorkiewicz, certified yoga instructor, shows us how to do Cactus Arms, Wheels on the Bus, Pick a Peach, Elvis Moves His Pelvis, Downward Facing Dog, and many other yoga poses. She will point out the physical aspects of yoga, and why many poses have a positive effect on the body, even though they are not difficult to do. The more one does, the easier it becomes: this is why "Motion is Lotion".
