WOW... This gave me chills to SEE how they (really) make this Batik... A true ART form...

Wow! Rights reserved for the participants working so hard. That's Nice.

Excellent documentary. The techniques are so smart and interesting with beautiful results.

The dilemma of using chemical dyes is the lack of knowledge on waste management in developing countries, and how to handle the process without harming the health of the craftsmen/woman directly. We are facing the same issue in Indonesia. I hope they will continue to preserve the natural dye processes. Much nicer color, and globally loved in our today's market.

Amazing. Thank you for sharing this wonderful batik tradition and their modern adaptations.

❤️ part 1 & 2. Thank u so much 😊

Awesome movie! Brilliant patterns

Thank you for sharing!!! Fantastic!

fascinating! thanks for the cool video.

Thanks for this!

Excellent search and presentation! Thank you.

Stunning works.

I Hope they show the end result

an place where they can be bought here?

Nice techniques, but sadly I am not down with the chemical dye. This is why I prefer the Seereer tradition of weaving and dying. They use the traditional method rather than imported chemicals.

What was added to the cook starch to turn it dark brown?

You add either an acid or an alkaline to get different shades.

Both parts of the film I made show dyeing cloth in Serrekunda and nearby Sukuta, both centres for batik and tied dyed cloth in The Gambia. These patterning and dyeing techniques are found in several countries in West Africa including Senegal, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Guinea Conakry. You can find more details of the processes involved in books about West African Textiles. If you need more information do let me know.
