A Brief History of Krinkly

Ciara Concannon began creating batik clothing in the late 1980's in Berkeley, California. Quickly she became a regular on the Northern California festival circuit, where her wares continued to improve and diversify. T-shirts, dresses, kids' clothes, adult t-shirts, skirts and more -- all individually prepared and dyed with Ciara's original "krinkle" process. In 1998 Ciara moved north to Seattle and incorporated the Pacific Northwest into her annual cycle of arts and crafts fairs and music festivals. Krinkly Batiks can be found at such events as Seattle's Fremont Fair and Solstice Parade, Issaquah Salmon Days, High Sierra Music Festival, Strawberry Music Festival, and Davis Whole Earth Festival.

They have expanded production and have a regular retail outlet in Seattle's unique Pike Place Market and you will likely find them at your favorite festival or music event.

Every Krinkly Batik is individually hand crafted. For more information, Krinkly Batik can be reached at (206) 285-4552.
