Batik is a traditional Indonesian technique using hot wax as a resist and usually worked on white fabric, in this workshop we will take a contemporary approach working on coloured tissue.  Inspired by these techniques we will work with inks and a bleach like solution using traditional and experimental tools to create beautiful images inspired by birds.
