We were lucky to have members of the Indonesian community join us in Karaka.
They showed us how to the tjanting to drip wax onto the patterns we drew onto fabric. It was harder than it looked, especially since the wax solidified if you held it at the wrong angle.
If you did it too slowly then there were big blobs of molten wax on the fabric. We look forward to getting the fabrics back once they have been coloured for us.
