Batik tips
Having worked with batik for years, we truly believe that the batik supplies we sell are the best there are, and offer a great opportunity to learn batik from the comfort of your own home using the very same batik tools as the master craftspeople in Java. We understand that teaching yourself batik at home can be a bit daunting, so we've put together some useful guides to help you. We also recommend Jude Flaherty's youtube channel for some excellent batik videos.
