Have you ever wanted to learn Batik Painting but don’t know anything about it? Well, then you are in luck, as the Visual Arts Centre Singapore offers a batik painting workshop for beginners that teaches you the basics of batik painting as well as the history of batik.
But first, here is a brief introduction to the world of batik:
You do not use pen and paper for batik. Instead, you use cloth instead of paper, and wax instead of ink. When beginning a piece of batik work, you would draw a sketch using pencils of the design desired. Then, you would use a wax funnel – a tjanting, filled with hot melted wax, to trace over the patterns on the cloth. This type of batik art is known as batik tulis – which means writing, completely using wax by hand with the tjanting tool. From this method, you can see the changes in the variation in size and shapes of the wax flowing.
Our teachers will explain the history of batik in a more in depth manner during the workshop.
