What a dissappointment
Tie dye is about color and feeling. The book is in black and white. How can you teach tie dye and batik in black and white. Waste of time!!!

Informative by disappointing as well
This is the kind of book that needs a lot more color illustrations. The information was great, but my problem is that the book did not inspire me very much and I think this kind of book should do that.
-P-

a good basic book enabling one to explor batik medium
I used this book in my art classes and found it to be down to earth and basic. My students were able to use it with good results.
