WAXON Batik & Dye Studio was founded in 2015 by local teacher Jessica Kaufman, M.A. Crafts Education (Prescott College), B.S. Teaching Theatre Arts (Appalachian State University). Jessica learned fabric dyeing while working at Gwynn Valley Camp in Brevard, and then went on to teach and design crafts curricula in Montessori and Semester schools. She is passionate about teaching and making batik, the art of hot wax resist on fabric. WAXON vends locally and regionally at arts and music festivals each summer.
