Collection: Tibby Llewellyn

 Tibby Llewellyn has been working as a batik artist for many years.  Batik is the interpretation of a design on fabric by the use of waxes and dyes. It is a wax-resist process in which the colored dyes are layered on one at a time, starting with the lightest, each color kept in place by a painted on melted wax mixture.  The wax is removed when the design is complete.  Tibby works primarily on imported silks which add their unmistakable character and texture to each work.  She chooses subjects that suggest motion and are enhanced by the fluid effect of batik.  A sailboat catching the wind with its spinnaker, a wading egret, swaying marsh grasses – each is captured and interpreted by the complex batik process.
