Beatrice is one of our most faithful Artisan partnerships and friends. She carefully crafts this beautiful Batik fabric from a blank canvas to a bold batik worth sharing with the world!

Once the fabric has been printed with the wax design, the fabric is dyed with perfectly mixed colors.

The end result is a vibrant, beautiful design that is unlike any other design. Completely unique and handcrafted

Batik begins with an inspired idea. The process takes hours, sometimes days from creation to completion💫. The fabric is entirely handcrafted and completely beautiful.

Jelinda is one of our lead designers, who used to be a vocational student at Artisan many years ago. She has such a great eye for creative design and fashion.

From turquoise to green and every color in between, Jelinda’s artwork is fully displayed on these fabrics. All fabrics are available to buy at Artisan’s BATIQ shop in Gulu.

Buy your gorgeous BATIQ for your home, office or dream outfit! Our fashion designers also can design you apparel with the fabric right in our shop!

Batik begins with a white piece of fabric, a blank page that transforms with beauty over the hours, as the wax & dye reveal the Artist’s dream design in real time.
