For the past 5 years I have opened my door to neighbors, friends, and textile lovers every weekend during the month of December. I have enjoyed meeting many new people and sharing my passion for beautiful, hand made cloth from many countries. Over the last several years my focus has narrowed down to batik. It has become the ultimate medium for my own creative expression. I spend more of my time now in Central Java working with Hartono to create new and innovative batik designs. Beginning in the new year I will concentrate on batik exclusively. So in this last big sale I plan to liquidate my inventory of hand woven silk scarves, shawls, and other traditional, ceremonial, decorative, and wearable textiles from Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, an Thailand. It will be an opportunity for my wonderful supporters to pick up some beautiful silk hand woven textiles at very reasonable prices.

Daniel,
It is wonderfuil to read about your shift to batik exclusively and being able to spend more time in Central Java developing new designs with Hartono.
Did Hartono’s tour end well in New York? We will be contacting him shortly re his visit to Queensland.
My partner ans I will be spending some extended time in Java in 2011 so hope it will coincide when you are there and we can meet and share our passions for batik.
The exhibition is developing well and we are extremely happy with the directiond being taken by the curator, Dr Maria Friend.
Wishing you a very successful December sale.
My best always, Greg.
