Designs of Chinese Indigo Batik

“The art of batik, or wax-resist dyeing, has been handed down from generation to generation for almost 2000 years among the people of China. Yet this rich and varied folk art is little known in the West. This book presents for the first time anywhere over 110 of these extraordinary Chinese indigo batik designs.
The clearly written and beautifully illustrated text offers fascinating information about the lives and cultures of the batik artists , about the history of Chinese batik, about the techniques and tools used to produce the dyed fabrics, and especially about the artistic aspects of the stunning designs themselves.”
