Wax Batik Project Teaching Pack - Key Stage 2 and beyond

ISBN: 0-9552832-1-3 Second edition

This Wax Batik Project Teaching Pack has been totally reviewed and enlarged for the second edition.

This is an exciting project pack that includes the wonderful textile printing process of 'resist-dying' wax batik. Our experience of teaching this craft has helped us develop an easy method for applying and using wax. This is fully explained in the Project Teaching Pack which is suitable for Key Stage 2 and beyond. Because this Project Teaching Pack uses the wax-resist batik method it is NOT suitable for use with younger children. For Key Stage 1 we recommend our African-method batik, which does not use wax.  A separate Project Teaching Pack is available for this method.

The key to any batik is the design theme and this is explained in detail with a range of proven ideas for work.  Suggestions are included for equipment and materials to ensure that children can produce exciting results. Many examples of children's work are included in the pack and some more are shown in the photo gallery.  

This 67 page resource pack contains instructions for 4 different batik projects, detailed photographs of children doing batik, and many examples of children's artwork.  There are also numerous design ideas and photographs of batiks which can be used for display.  With the exception of consumable materials and equipment the pack includes everything necessary to make beautiful batiks and provides guidance for further work.

This 67 page A4 pack contains over 60 full colour photographs, plus other illustrations and includes the following:

This batik method has been developed by us to be a safer alternative to the use of wax and is suitable for Key Stage 1 and beyond.  Detailed instructions for 4 exciting projects.
