Batik Mirinvento

Mirinvento realizes batik – paintings, accessories and clothing – in any patterns, designs and colors you like and organizes batik classes for kids and adult.
Each batik is completely handmade and so it is a unique piece of art.

Passionate about art, I have a degree in art conservation and during the 3 years I lived in Malaysia – Miri Sarawak - I studied batik in an atelier of a local artist. When I moved back to Italy I decided to follow my passion for batik...

Batik courses

The course gives all the basic notions of the batik making paintings and foulards on silk and cotton.

The class starts with a brief introduction of the technique and a presentation of several artworks to understand which are the main characteristics of batik painting. Then we will make some batik focusing on the following tools: drawing on silk/cotton, applying the hot wax using the tjanting (consisting of a small thin copper cut with one or more capillary spouts and a handle of reed or bamboo), dying the silk/cotton, fixing the colors and removing the wax.
