We often get asked
if you need to
have a lot of experience to come
on one of our
courses ?
the answer to that is a definite NO!
The idea is to
have fun,
relax and enjoy being creative.
Whatever skills you have
when you arrive we hope you
will go away with something more

Paper;
cartridge and tissue paper, pencils, crayons, pastels; oil and

We
suggest you bring with you a small sketchbook (A5

use on our visits to local towns or just around Le Poirier.
Don't
forget your camera !!
Silk is provided for small samples and to produce one larger
piece, I have silk scarves available to buy, but you may want to bring your own.
White cotton is provided for small samples and to produce one
larger piece, cotton bags are available to buy for decorating with
batik.
You
may wish to bring with you images to use as inspiration such as
photos, postcards etc. I have plenty of books and resources, we
also have a variety of objects for drawing, and there is also the
house and surrounding farm buildings, and drawings and photos
produced on excursions.
My current work
involves batik on canvas, however it is not possible for me to
keep a lot of canvases in stock should you wish to try this
technique, therefore if you have space in your luggage to bring
yourself a couple of canvases please feel free to do so. Canvases
are available to buy quite cheaply now, and don’t have to be of
the best quality to use with batik.
