      Colorful Batik Panel Quilts - Judith Vincentz Gula

      Introduction

      The Indonesian batik art

      panels in this book are

      wonderfully beautiful and

      executed by experienced

      men and women artists in

      Java and other parts of

      Indonesia. I have come to

      love the art created by these

      incredibly talented artists,

      becoming quite passionate

      about the creation of

      batik art panels. We hope

      that you will join us in this

      journey to Indonesia.

      Seven years ago, my husband, Dave, and I merged our business, Artistic Artifacts, with Batik Tambal. This allowed us to expand our product offerings to include Indonesian Batik Panels. Owners of Batik Tambal, Trish & Owen Hodge brought this wonderful textile art with them to the US from Indonesia over 20 years ago.

      We are a part of the Fair Trade movement, and we pay the asking price for the panels. In doing so, we have created long-term relationships with these talented artists. By purchasing these panels, we are helping provide a living wage to them, their families, and in turn, their communities.

      Batik Artists Illustration

      IllustrationIllustration

      Batik is an art form of intricate design and brilliant colors, and the fabrics depict the culture and environment of the island.

      Indonesia has a heritage of rich textiles and on the island of Java, batiks, a dye and wax resist process, has risen to a standard of the highest quality. Our batik artists are men who continue to work with fine art mediums, including life size acrylic paintings and panel designs. Some teach in universities and are a part of the launching of this new art form.

      Illustration

      The panels are completed in a cooperative environment of workshops in their homes. Women create the panel details, following decades of old tradition. This practice was regarded as an important part of a young woman’s accomplishment to be capable of applying the fine detail often seen in Batik cloth.

      Batik Panels Illustration

      Batik is a technique of wax-resist and dyeing. Starting with a freehand sketch or an illustration traced onto white, tightly woven cotton fabric, a canting tool, shown here, is used to apply wax in lines and dots. The wax resists the dye as color is applied to the fabric. The wax is removed with boiling water, and the process can be repeated to add additional colors.
