This one or two day workshop is suitable for any level of experience. You can work at your own pace and ability under the supervision of the internationally renowned batik artist and instructor, Rosi Robinson.

You will learn the basics of this wonderful traditional resist technique of decorating fabric and will discover the magical quality and variety of effects that batik - wax, dyes, fabric (and paper) - has to offer.

Rosi will introduce you to a variety of traditional and contemporary techniques on cotton fabric and paper using hot liquid wax and fibre-reactive dyes. You will learn how to apply hot wax with brushes, cantings (tjantings), caps (tjaps) and stamps both found and made; etch and spatter wax. You will learn how to do batik in a more painterly way - almost like painting in watercolours - on both fabric and paper. Come and play! Discover the Magic of Batik with Rosi.

Shambellie House, New Abbey, Dumfries, DG2 8HQ
