About Deb

My batik studio is located just west of Cincinnati in Okeana, Ohio, where I create batiks on cotton, silk, watercolor paper and rice paper. 

I works from photos, sketches and color plans to transform the light and space of a familiar place  through the unique and complex batik process. I also use batik to create mid century designs and fabric collages.

I am a member of the International Batik Guild. I have attended and taught batik workshops. Follow me on Instagram @debjojonesbatiks or on FB at Batik Artworks by Deb Jo Jones. Look for my work at local art center shows and at The Collective in OTR by Findlay Square.

About Batik

Batik is an art form which uses hot wax as a resist and cold water dyes to add layers of color. The layers of color dyes are painted on with a brush, or the entire piece is dipped in a tub of dye. Hot wax was applied using various brushes and batik tools called tjantings and kistkas.
