Jane Pincus will give a presentation on her exceptional Batiks, the process involved and her creative path used in both her batik's and her more recent work.

Batik is an ancient art done on fabric dating back to India, Asia, and Egypt as early at the first century. The word "batik" means "wax writing" in Indonesian and is done with the use of molten wax. After the wax is applied those portions of the fabric resist a specific color when applied to the dye bath. Jane's batiks are very detailed and exhibit an extraordinary artistic ability.

Her more recent painting and collage work shows her innate use of creativity. Her presentation will focus on the creative process which is inherent in all her work.

Jane Pincus, of Roxbury, VT was one of the original writers who published the 1970 book "Our Bodies, Ourselves," now in its ninth edition.For the past 45 years, she has alternated health care work with creating art.

Jane's talk will be Saturday Feb. 2, 2019 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the White River Craft Center. Her exhibit currently in the Center Gallery will be on display until Feb. 8th.
