Reviews
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.

Your batik picture of a parrot with attitude looked amazing :-), you have a great sense of colour too.I'd love to see a picture of it framed. Keep creating. Barbara
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.

I am glad you enjoyed your day. You have a talent for design, I hope you find the time to do more art for yourself ;-) .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.

It was a pleasure to teach you Jill. Your picture looks fabulous, well worth the wait during the lock down and Covid! :-)I hope you continue and I will look forward to seeing your future creations. B
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.

Thank you Christine. You and your sister Shiela created unique art works as complete beginners and they looked brilliant. I am looking forward to seeing your pieces framed :-) and teaching you in the future.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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you Daizy. There are many levels to batik and you did well in this introduction class. :-)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.

I am really pleased that you have learned so much and being on two of my Batik days. Maybe join me for the crackle glaze class one day :-).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.

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.
