Balinese Batik made with plain white cotton, an image sketched and wax added in either an outline using a special tool (fine line) above, or painted or stamped (see the metal stamping blocks below) onto the fabric to highlight the picture and then dyed and more wax added and re dyed, ect. ect. and then hot washed removing the layered wax to reveal the stunning artwork underneath that has been painstakingly created, taking maybe days to create one sarong fabric length (2 meters). I would of loved some photos of the finished artworks but cameras where prohibited inside the gallery. If you want a memorable piece of Bali to take home a real Batik sarong is just perfect!
