# Event Details - **Event Name**: Batik Silk Painting Workshop - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 02:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: D E S C R I P T I O N Learn the art of Silk painting using wax resist and inks. The wax is applied using “Batik” methods but instead of dipping the fabric into dye, the colour is applied by painting silk inks directly onto the fabric giving much fresher and vibrant results. On a practical note Lisa will show you how to stretch your silk onto a wooden frame, apply melted wax using tjanting tools and paintbrushes. Then the magic happens when the jewel toned inks flow onto the silk. This is such an organic way of making art, you can draw your design straight onto the silk with the wax after you’ve had a practice on paper first. Or if you’re feeling a little nervous there are some magic disappearing fabric pens to hand if you prefer to sketch your outline first onto silk. These lines vanish at the end when the wax gets ironed off. On a wellbeing note, it’s the process of making these batiks that’s to be enjoyed, rather than focussing on the end result. It’s such a beautiful mindful process, and the outcome is always a lovely surprise. You can’t always control every drop of wax or ink, so there is joy in relaxing and enjoying the process. W H A T Y O U N E E D T O B R I N G Please bring an apron or wear old clothes. Packed lunch if needed. Bring along any ideas, sketches or inspiration you might have. You will be working in a square format approx. 24cm x 24cm to give you an idea of scale. Lisa also provides inspirational material and also “templates” of designs to “trace” if you prefer more guidance. So everything is provided for a lovely, relaxing, free flowing day of art making. W H A T I S I N C L U D E D All materials (except aprons). You will also have the option to buy a frame for £15 (cash only) and Lisa can assist you in framing your work of art at the end of the workshop.
