Product Description

Batik is an exciting and unusual art form in which vibrantly colored fabric designs are created by the repeated application of hot wax and dyes. By following the seven easy-to-understand projects in Batik, you will discover the fascination of this ancient Asian art. As a method for embellishing and patterning cloth, the possibilities are endless, and finished batiks can be fashioned into clothing, cushion covers, wall hangings, or pictures. Artist Sarah Tucker's own enthusiastic approach offers a stimulating introduction to batik for the complete beginner, but it will also inspire those more experienced in the medium. Lavishly illustrated in full color. 96 pp 8 1/2 x 10 1/2

Excellent how-to-do-it book
This book is exactly what I wanted: a strong, clear, detailed guide to the techniques involved in creating works in batik - pictures, scarves, cushion covers. It's full of illustrations which made it easy to follow but it also encouraged me to be more ambitious, trying out techniques which were quite new to me. Good for a beginner, therefore, but also good for those who already know about batik but want to get to grips with new ideas!
