Batik Painting workshop at St. Luke’s Elder Care

The design is first traced onto the cloth, before it is outlined using hot wax.

After hot waxing is complete, the participants can then paint their batik pieces using the batik dyes.

Over the course of a few weeks we have conducted a mini-batik painting workshop for the elderly at St Luke’s Elder Care. The elderly participants each produced their own batik painting, using hot wax to draw their designs onto the cloth and colourful batik dyes to complete them.
