Batik

Thorn Prikker’s friend, the poet Henry Borel who lived in China, sent the artist the necessary tools and materials for his experiments with the batik technique. Thorn Prikker’s wife Lena Spree offered him practical assistance. He applied the motifs to a piece of silk or cotton with wax. When the fabric was placed in a dye bath, the waxed areas remained uncoloured. From 1898 his designs were produced by Agathe Wegerif and others at the batik studio of the Arts and Crafts firm in The Hague and sold as cushion covers or curtains.
