    For the studio session, you can come as and when you please. It is different from the stuctured lessons that I offer at Nafa. Having learnt this before, I am sure you will be able to pick up where you left off very fast. For newbies, they’ll need a structured learning environment. I suggest they sign up for my class at Nafa.
    The studio programme at APAD is developed to offer a common studio facility for anybody interested in batik painting. The difficulties of batik painting is primarily about having a proper studio facility with all the right equipments and materials. Most of us would even have problem containing the smell of heated wax from our flat.
    This will be a place to meet, exchange ideas and learn from one another. We’ll be guiding and motivating one another on projects and conduct experiments. Hopefully the group will grow and have regular art exhibitions.
    Most importantly, it will be a place to de-stress – so you set your own pace and objectives.

    i just wanted to know when will be your next batick painting workshop. how long is the workshop as my friend who is interested is currently living overseas. but he is interested in going here for the workshop.

    thanks,
    julie

  4. kamaldollah Says:

    Hi Julie,

    Thank you for your interest. The batik painting programme for beginners at Nafa is eight weekly evening sessions of 3 hours. It starts as soon as they have enough students signed-up, so I really can’t tell when. You should call Nafa’s Continuing Education Department at 65124214 to enquire. Or see http://www.nafa.edu.sg/in_courses/parttime/2007/ce/contents.htm

    I can consider arranging for a customised course only if there is at least 5 students interested. The details we’ll have to discuss in person.

    Regards,

    Kamal

    Thanks

  15. LT Wong Says:

    Dear Kamal,

    Will you be conducting any part-time beginner’s batik classes at NAFA? I searched the NAFA website, but didn’t come across any. If there aren’t any, will you be conducting any outside of NAFA?

    Thanks.

  21. Aileen Leviste-Arao Says:

    Hi Kamal,

    I have a group of 35-60 students from Manila who will be coming over to Singapore for an education tour. I want to incorporate Batik Painting as one of the activities that they can do during their stay here in Singapore. Do you conduct like 1-2hrs of batik painting, where they can create a s small piece of batik art and something that they can bring in their home country. We’re looking at end of September or early October 2011. Do let me know the rates per student (incl the materials) so we will be able to inform them.

    Thank you,
    Aileen

  22. anu Says:

    hi kamal would you conduct anyclasses in INDIA?

    • kamaldollah Says:

      Hi Anu,

      Going to India would be a major undertaking. If you could handle our expenses in India, we’ll work out an international programme like we did in Namibia where we got support from their ministry of Education and the Singapore government funded our travel.
