Customer Reviews

a useful, informative and step by step guide
As an art teacher I wanted a book on batik which would be an aid to explaining the batik process to my students and this book is ideal for that.
The book starts by expanding on uses for batik fabric, then sources for design ideas but I found the most useful part to be the chapter on equipment and materials which clearly explains the use of different tools with simple diagrams.
There is a section which guides you through the basic process and then step by step instructions for projects which become increasingly challenging further on in the book.
The only thing that I could find fault with is that some garments which it guides you through making look out dated now but if you are after an easy to follow introductory guide to batik this book is perfect for you!
