FREE Art Workshop in Batik, May 2024
Join us for an exciting morning of batik at Canopy Workshops! Learn the traditional art of batik, a technique of wax-resist dyeing that creates beautiful patterns on fabric that will form a banner. Our experienced artist and tutor Joanne Callaghan will guide you through the process, from designing your own pattern to applying the wax and dye. No experience necessary – just bring your creativity and enthusiasm! Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to learn a new skill and contribute to a masterpiece that will be showcased on the artsFEST Coleford Parade.
Participants may wish to join the parade at ArtsFest Coleford on Saturday 1st June from 12 O’clock where they’ll be able to see the Batik banner carried in the parade.
We will be using the side room at Cafe Sixteen in Coleford, this is an accessible space and the cafe will be open for refreshments.
Coleford has several car parks to choose from and free parking can be found next to the Tourist information office (if space allows).
You are welcome to stay for the full two hours or just for part of the morning.
We are holding 4 of these free workshops on Fridays 10am – 12. On May 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th May.
