     Batik is one of the oldest and best-known methods for dying fabric, dating back more than 2,000 years. But this craft, usually involving hot wax, can be time consuming and hard to share with younger members of the family.

New and improved glue batiking gives the same look with a fraction of the effort. Come color your world with this fun technique as part of the 2025 Color Your World Summer Reading Program.

Participants will need to bring their own shirt or other piece of clothing or fabric to dye. All other supplies will be provided.

Wednesday, June 18^th @ 5:30 p.m.  Join us for Cook the Book. This session’s topic is Summer Picnic.  Bring a friend and enjoy a variety of Summer Picnic foods. We choose the cookbooks; you choose and make a recipe to share on Wednesday, June 18^th at 5:30 p.m.  Come to the front desk to see the cookbook (or bring your own recipe), use a Post-It note to mark which recipe you choose, and take a copy of the recipe home.  Prepare the recipe and bring it to share with the other participants.  All participants will discuss how easy or hard it was to make and what worked or didn’t work well. Best of all we get to sample new dishes and bring a copy of the recipes home to share with our families.  

Free! All materials provided. Bring your handy skills and creative minds to create a personalized journal to take home and use for you silliest, funniest and deepest thoughts. 
Teens only. Contact Patty at the Rensselaer Library with questions.
