Batik is a technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to the whole cloth. This technique originated from the island of Java, Indonesia. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a canting, or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap.
Pacific Arts Market:
"The Gallery" includes a modern storefront pop-up gallery space for individuals or groups to exhibit their art in our 290Sq. Ft. space, rotating every 4 weeks. It also includes a fabulous shared gallery space for artists to rent affordable smaller spaces for displaying and selling their work, with a minimum of 20 unique art spaces.
“The Studios” - features 7 working studios, occasionally open to the general public to meet and experience artists in their creative environment.
"We wanted to provide an affordable solution for the art community in Vancouver where studio space is increasingly hard to find", says Crystal.
At “The Market” located upstairs, you will experience a huge variety of local artists exhibiting paintings, jewelry, pottery, photography, leather goods, woodwork and other crafts. Shoppers can expect to find unique and individual items that have been carefully made and displayed by the artists themselves.
