Ginger Rembold will teach a class on batik at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 18. This workshop, for ages 12 and older, is an introductory class of the Indonesian and Indian art of batik, which combines a wax resist process, dye and fabric. This class will involve hot wax and will run two to three hours. Participants should bring a simple design idea with a pattern no bigger than 12 inches square, plus a fi ne-tip black Sharpie. Stain glass patterns work well for the ba- tik process. Additional hair dryers are also helpful. Dye, wax, fabric and tools all provided. Multiple pat- terns also available for student use. Cost is $24 for Crossroads mem- bers, or $36 for nonmembers. There also is a $5 supply fee. Rembold will offer another class, this one on glass etching, from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, March 25. This is for ages 12 and older, although ages 8 to 11 can attend with a paid adult. Participants should bring three to four glass items to etch (The Dollar Tree is a good source), plus simple pattern ideas sized to the glassware. Also, bring an exacto knife and an old towel to cushion the work surface. Cost is $16 members, $24 non- members. There is a $5 supply fee. Beginning March 10, Becky Mancino Litke will resume her “Learn to Love Watercolors and Pastels” class. It meets Wednesdays at Crossroads. There are two ses- sions: 3-5 p.m. or 5-7 p.m. Cost is $16 per session for mem- bers, or $24 for nonmembers. To register for these classes, go to www.crossroads-arts.org.
