1.0 out of 5 stars
Not deep enough or broad enough,
By Beth "Crazy, Dancing White Woman" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Batik (Paperback)
I recieved this book as part of a start up kit on batik. The billing on the book was that it was a good how-to on the batik process. I found it to be remarkably lacking. There was no advice as to how to deal with the more common problems mentioned in the process, and the process, itself was extremely lacking. There were a lot of pretty pictures of batik work from a modern standpoint - but they did not fit in well with the subject matter and seemed more like a "look what I did". There were very few pictures, for example, of the various steps of the process while the artist was in action.I suppose at this low cost, you get what you pay for.
