Check out the July/August issue of MARQ magazine! Not a subscriber? Then come into the Textile Center Shop, see the article and photo and Ziya Tarapore's amazing wooden bowls in person! Ziya uses a batik method to dye her wood - a technique usually seen only in textiles - and achieves phenomenal designs and colors.
