Nanyang Girls Batik Workshop for Girl Guides
August 25, 2009We conducted an intensive 3-hour batik workshop for Girl Guides‘ of Nanyang Girls. Within one session, we
- briefly covered the history and cultural practices related to batik,
- the girls experienced waxing with the tjanting,
- made monotone batik by immersion dying,
- wax removal process and
- another project by typical batik painting method (faux batik).
The girls walked away with 2 pieces of their very own, original batik masterpieces. We were very impressed with their discipline that made this a very fruitful session. It was the initiative of their seniors studying at Hwa Chong Junior College who needed to do a research on cultural practices. It is a nice synergy where the girls enjoyed learned about a relevant cultural practice and experienced and interesting art-making process whilst their senior got the materials for their project.
For what was achieved during this session, I believe these girls deserve their Girl Guides craft proficiency badge.

“Mr. Kamal communicates and motivates our students effectively by providing age appropriate materials (cartoon/comic characters). He simplifies the lesson which enables the students to be engaged and be on task. He does not criticized but instead appreciate students’ original work. He is patient and ever willing to clarify any of the students doubt. Overall, the students have picked up skills related to caricature. His eight lessons help the students to appreciate art and be more creative.” - Mrs Anna S and Mrs Suren
