What you can expect

Discover the art of batik, a traditional textile decoration technique, in a hands-on workshop in Lomé. Learn how to apply hot wax to fabric, often cotton, and then dye it. The wax-covered areas resist the dye, creating unique decorative patterns.

Begin by learning the drawing techniques on fabric, then apply wax using a brush, stamp, or stylus. Prepare the dyes and immerse your fabric in a colour bath. Watch as your design comes to life, then dry and remove the wax to reveal the finished piece.

This workshop is an opportunity to explore a key part of West African textile and artistic heritage.
