Please note that our tjap inventory is not updated in real-time on this website. This means that when you place your tjap order, we may not have the tjap in inventory.
We do our best to keep the page as up to date as possible, but please understand that this issue may occur. We will notify you promptly if the tjap you would like is not available. Thank you for understanding.
WHAT ARE TJAPS?
Tjaps (pronounced "chops") are exquisite works of art in their own right.
Each one is made by hand - small strips of copper woven into intricate designs. They have been used in Indonesia for centuries to produce their wonderful batik fabric, waxing the designs before painting the cloth.
Although Kathie likes to use them in her paintings, when not in use they look simply beautiful displayed on a shelf or framed and hung on a wall.
Many of our tjaps have been used in actual fabric production, so they may have small imperfections. But they are the real thing and one of a kind.
Few Indonesians still practice this craft and tjaps are increasingly difficult to find. We will continue to offer them as long as we can.
It's finished at last! Kathie's two and a half hour instructional DVD is now available and is chock full of projects and demos.
