If you travel down Germantown Avenue’s cobbled street to the Mt. Airy Section of Philadelphia you’ll come upon a tiny shop called called Artista Gallery. There you will find the whimsical, wispy and wonderful clothing of designer and batik artist, Katy Robinson. Batik is a process of dying fabric and creating designs using wax to block out patterns on the fabric. I did not fully appreciate her work until I actually tried on some of it. The pieces are unique, some are show stoppers, and all definitely meant to be worn with black to show off her work.

Thanks for mention of my batik art wearables, and although I am still designing and making them in my studio in Mount Airy, my gallery, Artista, closed several months ago. It went the way of alot of other craft and art galleries in these challenging economic times.
