Back to Java, the land of batik

Tonight I will depart for Central Java in Indonesia. I have a small workshop there with batik designer and producer, Hartono. We collaborate to create variations on traditional batik designs on silk and cotton, much of it hand-woven from Laos and Cambodia. I spend about six months each year there creating designs inspired by traditional textiles from all over SE Asia. Batik-making is a fascinating art and  I will be posting photographs of the process here during the next two months.
