Batik

The book offers a unique and original insight into the secrets of wax batik and introduces the interested reader to the wonderful technique of wax decorating. The book includes a brief introduction to the history and deep symbolism of the patterns, accompanied by authentic photographs, an introduction to the original materials and patterns used in the creation of the original Javanese batik, advice on how to substitute these materials in our conditions, and detailed workflows with many step-by-step photographs.
