Upcoming program - November 14th meeting

Lunn Fabrics will share with us how batiks are made and will sell their wares. The shop will be set up by 6:00 pm, so come early to shop.

Lunn Fabrics is co-owned by Debra Lunn and Michael Mrowka, who for the past 25 years have also been partners in life, art, and fabric design.

Lunn Fabrics offers the complete line of Artisan Batiks,  Prisma Dyes, and Patina Handpaints which are designed by Debra and Michael, produced by Robert Kaufman Co., and manufactured in our "Green" factory in Solo, Java, Indonesia.  Also, we have an assortment of very special one-of-a-kind batiks and handdyes created by Debra and Michael in either their studio in Indonesia or their dyeworks in Ohio.   These exclusive batiks are only available online or see them at our shop in Lancaster, Ohio.

To give back to our batik workers and the people of Indonesia, Michael and Debra created Ganesa Study Center, a very popular non-profit, free-lending library in Central Java, Indonesia.
10% of all gross sales online and in our Lunn Fabrics store in Lancaster, OH go directly to support the Ganesa Library.
