To Book on contact me here https://lisadeighan.com/contact/ Learn the art of Batik using melted wax and inks on silk and create a beautiful 5 inch silk suncatcher. This is a lovely 2 hour introduction to batiksilk painting. And if you have time you can make a second one!
Longer workshops are also available - All dates. are here - https://lisadeighan.com/workshops/
At this worksop I will show you how 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.
On a wellbeing note, it’s the process of making these batiks that’s to be enjoyed, rather than focusing 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. All materials provided. Please bring an apron or old clothes.Bring along any ideas, sketches or inspiration you have. I also provide inspirational material and “templates” of designs if you prefer more guidance. So everything is provided for a lovely, relaxing, free flowing afternoon of art making.
Vouchers are available too. I hold regular workshops at a variety of locations and I’m available to book for private functions or company wellbeing “crafternoon” sessions. One to one tuition is also available - just contact me.
All abilities welcome.
