Weekly classes open to all public are held in Oude Molen Village in Cape Town or touring around the peninsula (see Baardskerdersbos Art Routes and upcoming workshops for the April 2019 edition).
What we’ll do :
Batik is a technique of wax-resist that originated in Indonesia and is used all over Africa. Colours are applied onto the fabric with a spouted tool called a tjanting, a brush or a stamp. The applied wax resists dyes and therefore allows the artisan to colour selectively.
You will experience during the course of the workshop a unique technique of hand painted batik which allows for a greater variety of colours and patterns, contrasts and harmonies.
What else you should know ?
Beginner or confirmed Designer, Sylvie's expertise will help you create your own special artwork.
About Syl’Batik :
Batik is my passion. I use a tjanting, patterns, colours, and transparencies to create artworks and fashion. Originally Parisian, I live and work in Cape Town’s fabulous Oude Molen echo Village community since 20 years. I am a renowned artist creating as Syl’Batik. I will share with you my unique technique of hand painted Batik in a friendly environment : my studio is in an enclosed lush garden. Enjoy the peace—it’s addictive!
