Classes usually start with an introduction to the materials and tools needed for batik making. This includes fabric, wax, tjanting tools (for applying wax), brushes, and dyes.

Step 2Zürich–Biel/Bienne–Neuchâtel–Geneva

Participants learn how to create their own designs or use traditional Ghanaian motifs. This step involves drawing or tracing patterns onto a foam
