Workshop | Learning to Batik like Barbara Leighton

Discover the Magic of Batik! This workshop introduces the textile art of batik, an ancient technique using layers of wax and dye to reveal beautiful patterns on fabric. Batik was one of Barbara Leighton’s most cherished art forms, and her work is proudly displayed in our museum today. Held in our historic Schoolhouse Art Studio, this workshop will be led by our very own Joanne Smith, whose teaching reflects the care and generosity that defined Barbara’s approach. Joanne’s own connection to batik began with a school field trip to the Leighton Art Centre in 1978. With warmth and guidance, Joanne will lead participants through each step of the process. This workshop invites you to slow down, create with care, and experience batik in the spirit of Barbara Leighton and the Leighton Art Centre.
