Batik Tulis
Batik Tulis: the hand-drawn wax-resist technique behind every HYPATIA pattern, one line at a time, never printed, never repeated.
The Day Indonesia Wears Its Batik
Every 2 October, Indonesia wears its batik. HYPATIA marks Hari Batik Nasional with the hand-drawn Batik Tulis behind every HYPATIA pattern.
Reading the Hand
How to read the hand in a finished HYPATIA piece - the drawn line of Batik Tulis, colour that runs through the cloth, and stitches that follow every curve.
One Cloth, Many Colours
A single length of HYPATIA Batik Tulis cloth can carry two colours, or several more - each one added through its own round of dipping, drying, and wax.
