Day one of this workshop provides the opportunity to explore creative batik (a wax resist technique).  Experiment with tools and methods for applying the hot wax to paper, cotton and silk fabrics before hand painting the colour using cold water dyes.  Natural forms from the garden or your own images can form design inspiration to create pattern and design ideas. You will produce a range of samples for sketchbooks, artwork or as test pieces for day 2 if you take the full course.
