Gina Castle: Traditional Batik on Silk

Welcome to my gallery! Batik is an ancient Javanese art form of design on fabric. It is a process of applying hot wax on cloth then dyeing it. To "add" color, the process is repeated several times. Each piece is individual.

Care Instructions

For simple maintenance:

Set your dryer at "Fluff - No Heat"
Toss your batik into the dryer with a scented dryer sheet for about two minutes.

This process lifts dirt and dust from the piece and brings it back to life!
