Luang Prabang: Hmong Batik Art Workshop
Learn to draw the ancient Batik Art of the Hmong Hill Tribe people of Laos at a workshop with a master Hmong Batik artist. Create your own beautiful Hmong batik art that you can take home as a memory of your trip to Luang Prabang. Use traditional Hmong Batik tools and learn the meanings of the ancient Hmong Hill Tribe symbols while enjoying the relaxing and fun activity of drawing the batik with natural beeswax on high-quality hand-loomed Hmong hemp fabric. Once your batik drawing is completed, do indigo dye for your batik and experience the natural indigo dye process. The master artist will continue the indigo dye process to achieve a deeper blue color and boil the wax away to reveal the beautiful design that you have drawn. Once dry, come pick up your finished piece and enjoy seeing the pattern that you drew with the lovely blue color of the indigo dye. Take your art home to use in a sewing project, such as a pillow cover or tote bag, or simply hang it on the wall.
