H'mong Batik: A Textile Technique from Laos celebrates the artistry of Blue H'mong women, as it is expressed in their batik. The painstaking methods by which they created traditional skirts, the importance of the skirts in the major lie events of marriage and death, and the bonds formed between women as one thought another are all explored with great sensitivity. Illustrations recognize the achievements of individual batik artists, and a legend on the origin of batik adds a spiritual dimension.
