I learned batik from Desak Putu Nithi in 1989. I love her dedication to her work and her concern for the people working with her. In 2000, I started my own art workshop. I create dresses from hand-painted batik textiles, with motivation from fashion magazines, adapting them to Indonesian culture. I work with rayon, cotton linen and crinkle cloth. For the coloring, I use sulfur and remasol.'I have built my career step by step. I started by asking my neighbors to come to my place to look at my mixture and place orders if they like it. Now, there's so much to do, I need the help of several assistants!What is Worldstock?The handdesigned touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design.
