That was intense. Kinda makes me feel bad to pay 6 dollars a yard!

For what is charged for for batiks .....I'll bet these poor people get pennies for all the hard work. Sad .

Very interesting, but also depressing. I worry about them being exposed to that dye- can it be healthy to get in on their skin all the time like that, and climb into the vats?

I also noticed that the dyeing was all done by men- the first woman we saw was at the folding stage. I wonder why that is?

Anyhow, it is excellent to know how it is made. I knew the traditional methods used wax but I was assuming that the Moda stuff was some sort of photographic reproduction.

Wow! I didn't realize how labor intensive making batik fabrics is. Thanks for sharing.
