2-Day Adire (Batik) Training by Adire Patterns

Adire Patterns is back! and this time, we are taking over Lagos!  If you haven't heard about our training, check out our instagram page @AdirePatterns

We are open source. This means, we share everything we know, we don't believe in keeping knowledge to ourselves, in fact, we practice quite the opposite.   

In this intensive 2-day adire workshop, you will be confidently equipped with the skills to practice Adire immediately you finish the course, and you will gain all the tips and tricks of the trade from experts so that you don't have to make the mistakes that many beginners experience.

All of the materials will be provided for you and you'll be awarded with a certificate upon completion. The only thing you'll be required to bring is your packed lunch (however lunch is also available on site for purchase).

Register for one of our Dember workshops:

• Sat 4 - Sun 5 Dec
• Sat 11 - Sun 12 Dec
• Wed 15 - Thu 16 Dec
