BATIK ART BY LUKANDWA DOMINIC

 At the end of last year, covid restrictions that have been in place since March, 2020 were relaxed. After a long time of no or little activity on my side, my friend who owns a Japanese restaurant invited me to have a pop up shop at Tank hill park in Muyenga. I was so glad to be out to show my artwork and possibly make a sale or two. The support I got from the crowd that turned up was amazing. It was also time for last minute shopping for Christmas gifts. I will never forget that experience.

In this new artwork, I bring out the taxipark as colorful as possible. Thousands of minibuses use this space to transport many people and goods around the country. Batik on cotton fabric, 90X60CM.   

Here is a new batik I just finished this week. It shows ladies wearing the Gomasi, a traditional dress worn by women from Buganda region of Uganda. (SOLD)

You can now register for batik lessons by sending an email on lukandwad@yahoo.co.uk I handle individual and group lessons both children and adults, in schools, homes and other public venues around the world.

This is one of the new batiks that I did for mother's day. The technique also included applying wax with a toothbrush and a house painter's brush.

Lately I have continued developing my fabrics. They have now advanced from simple patterns to now intricate multiple technique fabric designs, all handmade on cotton. Take a peek and enjoy.
