Textile Traders
Diane and Jim Gaffney are specialists in hand made textiles from Asia and particularly batik. Diane runs occasional specialist batik tours to Java. They supply cantings and caps (wax pens and copper stamps), wax, cotton, dyes, samples, and information. They also have lots of real batik textiles for sale and give talks and workshops on Javanese batik.
