PEACE, LOVE & HOPE (BATIK WORKSHOP) with Avy Loftus

Through fabric art inspired by batik technique, students engage in a series of activities based on the
expression of compassion and kindness. The students make a drawing on a sheet of paper, representing the
idea they have relating to the themes of Peace, Love, and Hope (to encourage creativity, symbols and letters
are not allowed). Then they transfer their drawing onto fabric and apply liquid wax (older students) or flour
(younger students) to block their designs for the colouring process. Students use the batik process to apply a
variety of colours to their creations.

Materials: Pencil, paper, fabric, batik colours, flour/wax.
