About the event

Workshop | Beyond Barbara Leighton's Batik
Further discover the Magic of Batik! Held in our historical Schoolhouse Art Studio, this workshop is designed as a more intermediate approach to the textile art of Batik, which originated in Indonesia as far back as the 12th century and was the first art course that Barbara Leighton taught when she opened Leighton Art Centre in the early 1970s. Batiks are crafted with a technique that uses hot wax and dye to create stunning patterns on a piece of fabric, such as cotton, silk, or linen. During the workshop, you will be introduced to a variety of techniques - both in applying wax with different tools and applying dyes. Joanne Smith will teach you a more “painterly” batik approach that allows for a wider selection of dye colours and shades. The Magic of Batik is revealed at the end when the wax is ironed out of the fabric.
