Description
Join me for an introduction to batik. We start by looking at a range of batik fabrics. I will talk about how they were created and look at tools required to set up this intriguing hobby. We will start by getting used to the tools by creating a batik on paper. Through this we will learn to use the tools and apply wax and dye. This first piece will be made into a card. Our second task is to create a batik on silk. I have a selection of designs or you can create your own designs.

Maker
Hello, I retired from teaching 10 years ago and started to develop my arty side. I worked in watercolour and acrylics attending numerous workshops to develop my art skills. Two / three years ago I stumbled on Craftcourses and booked a silk painting course and I loved it. Silk painting then became my preferred art form. I then discovered batik using hot wax. Some of my silk paintings I go on to embellish with stitching and appliqué. I am passionate about my art and now run workshops, exhibit my work and sell my work through artisan markets. Many of my works have been printed to make greetings cards.
