I loved this class with Oi. Her instructions are clear and her guidance supportive but not too directive. I really got into the”flow” with the atmosphere she created, and I love the result I achieved on the silk scarf.
As someone who is not an artist I wasn’t sure what to expect from this class – but you really do create an art piece. The space is lovely and calm and Oi offered fresh fruits and fruit drinks grown in her own garden. Creating the silk scarf was done step by step, from choosing the individual patterns for flowers and leaves, through applying the wax outline and then painting in the dye. And in the end – a fabulous piece of wearable art. This will definite be your most memorable souvenir of Chiangmai, and a day spent in the company of Oi, a truly gifted fabric artist.
I thoroughly enjoyed my day and was lucky to be in the first class in the new studio! I had a wonderful classmate, Anna, who made the class a lot of fun. The instruction was excellent, and I feel able to do another project on my own. The completed scarf was beautiful!
I spent a really enjoyable afternoon in Oi’s new studio being led through the creation of a piece of batik. She encouraged me to be creative while still beng on hand to rescue me from my mistakes and I was delighted to take away a piece of art which I can be proud of.
Once we sorted out that we couldn’t do a long scarf so chose 2 items to batik we all came out with 2 awesome pieces. Had a few hiccups with wax pots not keeping there heat. Morning tea and Lunch was provided which was lovely and Oi sister even bought pork buns as well. We had a full on day but very pleased with our art works.
Myself and 5 friends spent a wonderful day with Oi in her lovely studio. She lead us through the batik process with patience and kindness. We all made two items including a t-shirt and the results were beautiful. It was an intense day of concentration but it was broken up with lots breaks, delicious cakes and a great lunch. Oi and her sister went out of her way to make our day special and she even sent us photos of the day.Thankyou Oi, I would love to come back again one day.
I spent a whole day painting my silk scarf with Oi in her fabolous studio in the forest of Chiang Mai. Oi picked me up and helped me every step of the way for creating this masterpiece. I really enjoyed the whole process of batik with applying the wax and then paint your scarf. Oi especially helped me with picking the colors and made all my wishes and ideas come true! It took me quite a while to finish the scarf, but it was no problem and I stayed there till it was dark and my scarf was finished ??Don‘t miss this great experience!!
This experience could have had up to 4 participants so I was surprised and delighted to see that I was the only person that was signed up for this session. I had an amazing time designing and creating my Batik shirt. The instructor was extremely talented and patient as she showed me step-by-step how to use the chanti to place the oil. While we were waiting for the dye to set, she cut me a papaya from her tree and we had a chance to talk about her journey as an artist. Her studio is in an amazing open-air setting that is attached to her home. I am so grateful for this amazing experience. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in a cultural and artistic experience.
