Batik kits

+44 (0)1588 638712

We have two batik making kits.

One is suitable for trying out batik on paper and the other is used for batik on cotton or any other fabric.

To start with you could use an old pan to melt your wax in and then when you are feel ready to take the plunge, I recommend a waxpot or an electric frying pan.

Batik kit for paper

This kit is ideal for the beginner and anyone who wants to have a go at batik. To try batik on paper all you will need is something to melt your wax in (a small old saucepan will do) some paper and a paintbrush. You can try all sorts of different papers - tissue paper, rice paper, silk papers and newsprint all work well.

The kit includes

a medium spout long handled canting from Java,
300 grams of batik wax mix,
3 x 10 grams of procion dyes in yellow, red and blue,
a small wooden printing block suitable for printing in wax,
instructions and tips.
