I tried the batik block print session and really enjoyed it. Gigi was friendly and knowledgeable and I enjoyed the process of learning and printing. I am keen to try more of Gigi's workshops in the future. A great place to try something new.

On a recent trip to visit my sister in Bangkok, we spent two days with Gigi - one day for eco printing and one for batik. She is incredibly knowledgable, personable, and fun. I learned so much and just scratched the smallest surface of what Gigi knows. She is an expert who approaches her art with scientific precision, which means she sent me home with beautiful works of art. She loves what she does, and it shows. I am so happy my sister and I shared our time together in Gigi's studio. I will go back.

Batik block printing uses carved wooden blocks loaded with hot wax to stamp repeating motifs onto cotton before dyeing. Press the block, lift it, and the wax holds its shape through the dye bath — leaving a crisp resist pattern when the wax is removed. It's one of the oldest surface printing methods in textile history.

In this hands-on workshop at GIGIPAYNE Studio in Bangkok, you will learn how to apply melted wax using batik blocks and print decorative motifs onto cotton fabric before dyeing. The process combines pattern design, traditional craftsmanship, and creative experimentation.

By the end of the session, you will create your own patterned textile piece while learning the fundamentals of batik block printing.

Your Creative Project

During the session, you print your own pattern onto cotton using traditional batik blocks and wax resist. You leave with a hand-printed cotton shawl (175×50 cm) featuring your own block-printed design.
