🎨 Batik
Batik is an intriguing art form that transforms fabric into wearable and decorative art. Through a process of wax-resist dyeing, artisans create stunning patterns and designs, each piece telling a unique visual story.
Vibrant Caribbean hues come to life in our locally crafted batik creations. Picture the tranquil blues mirroring the Caribbean waters and skies, the lush greens inspired by nature's embrace, and the fiery oranges and reds echoing tropical flowers and breathtaking sunsets.
Head to H P Batik Studio in the Barbados countryside where the very talented Henderson Reece shares his knowledge and skill in a 6 hour Batik workshop! Henderson guides you through the process of design, waxing and dyeing to create your very own batik art.
