An Arabic name meaning 'graceful and elegant', Rashiqa is the personality within the online handcrafter's boutique, RashiqaBatik.com.

Rashiqa can often be found in her studio, enwrapped in beautiful patterns of silk or ceramics, or whatever creative project her delicate fingers have fallen upon.

If not found in her eclectic but fascinating workshop, you might find her chasing colours in Morocco or India, or tracing shapes on the ocean floor; or perhaps she will be climbing trees following the beauty she has heard in the bird's song; or sometimes she is wrapped in a blanket of stars, drinking softly brewed tea whilst she soaks in the moonlight.

She borrows from the world every piece of inspiration it has to offer, and in return gives back her soul, her unfiltered love and dazzling energy.
