In this hands-on 3 week course, you’ll discover the versatile craft of batik — using hot wax and dye to create vivid, richly patterned fabric with results that are genuinely stunning. There’s a particular magic to the moment the wax is removed and your design is revealed, and you’ll experience it again and again across the three sessions.

You’ll be guided through the core techniques of wax resist and dye application, building confidence with each session as your designs grow in ambition and complexity.

No experience needed — just a curiosity for colour and pattern.

Places are limited — book early to avoid missing out. All materials are provided; just wear something you don’t mind getting a little colourful.
