Batik Silk Painting Workshop: Autumn Berries

Course Overview

In this hands-on, beginner-friendly class, Lisa will guide you through the beautiful and organic process of batik, a centuries-old technique that uses melted wax and vibrant inks on silk to create rich, flowing designs. Over four hours, you’ll experiment with mark-making, layering, and colour blending, before crafting your own unique silk artwork inspired by the natural forms of spring.

By the end of the session, you’ll leave not only with a framed piece of art to treasure (or gift!) but also with the confidence to continue exploring this versatile medium at home.

All materials are included, along with plenty of encouragement, expert tips, and creative inspiration. Whether you’re completely new to silk painting or simply curious to try something different, this is a relaxed and rewarding way to spend the day.

Please bring an apron or wear old clothes as the inks may stain clothing.

Please note lunch is not provided, but you are welcome to bring your own packed lunch or visit our Visitor Centre Café.

This workshop is suitable for 16+.
