TEXTILE DESIGN

Five women artisans wearing hijabs, seated together in a workshop, hand-applying wax to large pieces of cloth with traditional canting tools as part of the hand-drawn Batik Tulis process, with dye pots and tools on the floor around them.

Drawn by hand, Hypatia textile designs are executed by women artisans in Indonesia.
Our designs are a contemporary interpretation of the sacred symmetry found in Nature. We introduced innovative visual techniques into the elaborate and time-consuming ancient craft of Batik Tulis to achieve exciting designs that are both timeless as well as avant-garde.
