Painting with beeswax & dyes - Batik Pictures

Barbara was an excellent tutor. We were able to make our own designs with loads of support and ideas. I would recommend this Batik workshop.

Really enjoyed today. I don't consider myself at all arty but I have produced a beautiful piece of work. Barbara was a great teacher. We had a lovely afternoon, a fantastic way to spend a day with my friend as part of my 60th birthday celebration.

A lovely therapeutic day of crafting. We spent some time practicing techniques before working on a final piece. Lovely colours to work with and I'm really happy with the finished product.

A wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Thank you Barbara for teaching us how to do Batik and for your hospitality. It was nice to meet like minded artists in a relaxed setting.

Great course, Barbara is a font of knowledge and a great instructor, highly recommended!

Wonderful way to spend a day. Barbara was lovely, very talented and a great teacher and hostess! Looking forward to doing another course in the future xx

Fantastic day. Great group. Barbara was a great group leader and teacher and we all came home with amazing pictures. Thanks for a great day

Excellent course. Barbara is really friendly and knowledgeable, and a great instructor. Learnt a lot and have found a new hobby. Plus, several completed pieces to take home.

Creating for the non creative _ great fun, patient instructor and I'm hooked! Off to buy my inks etc loved it!

Loved the Batik class on Saturday which was a gift from my daughter. We both took part and Barbara’s instructions were excellent (which is more than I can say about my unsteady hands). With Barbara’s help I was very pleased with my result and am keen to try out more at home.
Thankyou Barbara for sharing you skill.

A very enjoyable way to spend a day. A really relaxed environment and great instruction and support from the course tutor.

A fantastic beginners course. Barbara is a very friendly and interesting teacher, clearly very knowledgable about Batik as well as lots of other crafts. At the beginning we found the technique challenging, and harder than it looked. After practice we all ended up with final pieces we were very pleased with. Thanks Barbara!

A very enjoyable and productive day. Barbara's knowledge and tips mean anyone can get something from the day. Her teaching style is very supportive of all levels of student. A thoroughly enjoyable day.

Spent a lovely day learning the techniques required for batik. Barbara was really helpful and friendly. She gave us lots of hints and tips and helped where a couple of us were having difficulties. It was very easy to follow along with her guidance. Thank you Barbara :)

Lovely days course. Lovely friendly instructor. Well taught with good advice.

The alcohol ink day was completely absorbing. Barbara had everyone relaxed and over any hesitance quickly. We were shown a number of techniques to explore. Came away with the confidence and enthusiasm to jump in on my own. Would recommend this course, fun and a good introduction to alcohol inks.

Excellent content and tuition today on my course with Barbara, I feel far more confident now and I’m really pleased with both my practice and my finished pieces. Such a lovely enjoyable afternoon!

Alcohol inks is a fascinating art medium - quite different to watercolour or oil painting. It is great fun to use. The workshop included lots of techniques which Barbara demonstrated. She also gave us lots of time and material for us to experiment with for ourselves as well as offering encouragement and advice on our individual pieces.
An excellent workshop. Thank you.

Had a fabulous day ….. Barbara is a really good tutor …. Loved doing it … learnt a lot …. Really addictive….

Fantastic day creating & playing with Inks. Learnt lots of tips & tricks & have lots of samples to take away. Rediscovered my creative Mojo & will carry on for many happy hours now. Thank you so much xx

My 3rd course with Barbara and as enjoyable and informative as ever. I had never done batik before and Barbara was very helpful every step of the way but knowing when to step in without taking over. I will be back to try the advanced course. Loved it!

I attended the batik painting course with my teenage daughter and we had a fabulous time. Barbara was wonderful, very patient, very informative and very welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed learning the art of batik under her expert tuition and we would love to return to do other courses with her, including her alcohol inks course. I would highly recommend Barbara's courses.

Fabulous day batik painting with Barbara.Lovely lady who explained the technique really well. Wonderful experience.Thanks Barbara.

A great day with an excellent tutor.
Barbara provided all materials and guided us through the process.
Really pleased with my first attempt at doing batik painting.

I absolutely loved this day. I’ve been wanting to learn Batiq for years but it’s difficult to find a course. Barbara set up a wonderful day, with clear instructions and encouragement to help us make a beautiful picture to be framed. I really love this technique and will be practicing at home.
I fully recommend this course.

A great day. Barbara created an excellent and friendly learning environment.
Barbara gave clear instructions and guidance showing different techniques to use with the wax and dyes. I will be returning in the future to one of the courses she runs. Many thanks for your inspiration.

Batik picture making with my daughter. My results were much better- than I thought I could do - came away with a picture I will happily frame.......and would love to do something similar ...

Great day, I love the pieces I have made. Looking forward to framing them and putting them on my wall. Would do again.

I did this batik course on 17 September 2020. It was just wonderful. All equipment was available and thanks to Barbara I was able to make a beautiful batik first time. It is gorgeous and I will be framing it. Barbara is so friendly and relaxed with you to make you feel comfortable with the process. I would definitely promote her classes. A lovely light place to create your art. I can only thank her for her friendly manner, tips, tricks, and information.

A great ‘hands-on’ experience - wonderful guidance through the whole process of batik and would highly recommend. It was a very enjoyable day and really pleased with the resulting piece of work.

Calm confident instruction on techniques to use as was my first time. Everything was to hand when I needed it without asking making it so easy.
I came away with a lovely piece of ‘experimental ‘ batik fabric and am so pleased.
Can’t recommend her more highly. Fabulous day and so motivational.

A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon learning batik for the first time. Very informative friendly tutor who shared many tips and insights into this wonderful art.
Felt very happy and comfortable with friends in Barbara’s beautiful home surrounded by her exquisite craftwork. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After completing an introduction to batik workshop and liking the technique so much, I went back again to do a full day's workshop. All the materials and equipment were supplied, and lots of useful hints and tips given. I was delighted with the result that and it is now framed and hanging on my lounge wall. I can highly recommend this course.

A superb day learning a new skill. Barbara was accomplished and enthusiastic to pass her techniques on. It was very relaxing and enjoyable and I achieved a product I was pleased with. The lunch and tea and cake helped the day along and I would thoroughly recommend this course.

Enjoyed my first Batik course so much...I came back for a 2nd...enjoyed so much..I’m thinking of doing a 3rd 😀

Had a great day under the supportive and knowledgable guidance of Barbara, I can’t believe that I was able to produce such a piece on my first Batik course...I’m going to get it framed. Everything required provided in the course fee + Lunch, cake and drinks all through the day. Would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to explore Batik in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

A really enjoyable day. Learned a lot in a very supportive environment. Very happy with the results

Enjoyed a lovely creative day with Barbara today exploring batik techniques on both cotton and silk. Thank you for your hospitality and guidance.

I had a great introduction to Batik yesterday with Barbara. She was very hospitable and a great teacher. All the materials were provided, along with lunch and great cake. This was a technique I had been wanting to try for a long time. It was great to go home with pieces of work I would actually put up at home. Thank you for a great day Barbara.

I had a fabulous day learning how do do Batik with Barbara. She is an excellent teacher and everything was supplied. Due to her expert guidance, I left with some pieces of Batik that I will frame and hang in my home.

I’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy the Feltworld introduction to Batik. It’s a technique I had wanted to try for a long time and the course didn’t disappoint. All materials were supplied and the tuition was very helpful. A very enjoyable course
