“ I lived near a Miao village.  I became obsessed with Miao ethnic art especially batik at a very young age.  From the Miao village, I met Ani and Akin who were about the same age as me.  The brother and sister came from a very traditional Miao batik craftsman family.  We became very good childhood friends.  We often played hide and seek in their yard for hours.  We grew a little older, we learned the batik making together.  After college, I came back to my hometown, wanting to start a career in batik.  In 1996, three of us formed this batik workshop.  Besides the traditional Miao designs, we also created designs from other Chinese culture influences.
