Tie-dye and batik are creative textile-design techniques that can be used to produce distinctive patterns and colourful fabrics for fashion and other products.
During the training, participants will have the opportunity to develop practical skills, explore fabric decoration techniques and learn how different designs can be created.
These skills can be useful for fashion designers, dressmakers, textile enthusiasts and individuals interested in starting a creative business.
How Tie-Dye and Batik Skills Can Open Doors to Business Opportunities
