Grebe Batik
Artist: Sheilah Grebe
Driggs, Idaho
Batik designs on cotton and gauze clothing, we design our clothing then have it custom sewn. The batik process includes creating a "wearable" design, sketching it onto a garment then painting with a hot wax resist..it is then dyed and waxed multiple times to create various colors and texture. The finished piece is boiled to remove the wax resulting in a washable wearable casual garment. Sheilah and Geno work as a team, Sheilah being the artist and designer, Geno is the man for all jobs! We enjoy many outdoor recreational activities which are the inspiration for most of our designs and the desire to create a casual line of clothing. We have participated in many fairs and festivals since 1984.... with many new designs each year, one of the best parts of this "job" is creating a much loved design...we thank you all for loving them and us!
