Summer Occurances

Batik workshop at Dolmayrac village school
A two hour batik afterschool workshop with 20 children aged 6-9yrs was held last week in my local village of Dolmayrac.
The children wanted to make something for Mother's day which in France is at the end of May.
Each child used hot wax and dyes to produce a fabric piece for their mum.
Lots of excited children created some super fabric works.
