Oh my goodness. It should cost $100/yd. Definitely a job for the young, with strong knees and backs! Thanks so much for sharing this!
I have seen this done in Bali what you don't get here is the smell of the chemicals , or how very hot and humid it is there . Cathy
Great video. I had no idea how many steps were involved in making batiks. Did you notice that gloves were not worn during any steps, including bleaching or dying.
I think I will be more understanding when I find wax on my batik fabric.

I have seen another video and it wasn't nearly so complicated - but was very crude. The workers were standing in vats of water in part of the process and were wearing shorts and the shorts were wet up to their crotches. That is why I wash every single piece of batik that I own. Need I say more????

After that then you put up with so many more people (the public) handling the fabric in the stores and not knowing where their hands have been. I prewash all my fabric, batik or otherwise!Originally Posted by NikkiLu
Amazing. Thanks for the link. If I have to squat like they do I probably would never get up. BrendaK
Be kind to yourself, by being kind to others. When you help others you help yourself.
Wonder what they get paid per hour..
that was unreal!!!! I really appreciate the process now. They are one of my favorite fabrics to work with!
