Our company's "spouse group" was able to visit a little batik factory this past week and try our hand at some basic batik. The people at the shop will finish the processes -- drying, removing the wax, chemically treating the ink so that the colors will not fade, etc. Then, we'll get our little projects. I was not at all happy with mine and I hope to get back to this place with Jeri (I think you'd love to try this, Jerz) when she and Boy visit in March.
Here are 4 of the gals I teach, from left to right, from: Brazil, Venezuela, Venezuela, Brazil. Actually, other than the photos of workers, every gal in the photos is a student -- the Indonesian gal who is stamping her fabric with wax, and the Mexican gal who is hand applying the wax, and the group at the table.
