  • A Hmong ethnic minority woman decorates woven hemp fabric by batik, a wax resist technique, Vieng Hang, Houaphan province, Lao PDR. Bees wax is collected from the forest, heated in small metal pots and mixed with indigo paste (which colours the wax and makes it easier to see on the cloth). A bamboo pen with a metal nib is used for drawing the wax onto the hemp. The wax marks will resist the dye when the cloth is dipped in the indigo dye bath and left to dry. After the last dye bath has been completed, the cloth is boiled to remove the wax. The resulting fabric is an indigo blue colour with white designs and is the base for cotton applique and colourful embroidery. Making hemp fabric is a long and laborious process which the Hmong women make into skirts for their traditional clothing. In Lao PDR, hemp is now only cultivated in remote mountainous areas of the north.

  • A curator hangs an unknown art canvas painting on a gallery wall in the Royal Academy (RA) for its 'The Glory of Venice: Art in the Eighteenth Century' exhibition, a collection of important works of art by Italian artists such as Tiepolo, Canaletto, Piranesi, Piazzetta, and Guardi. In the privacy of the closed gallery, the official from the RA is carefully aligning the artwork and ensuring it is straight and presentable days before the general public is allowed to see these renaissance art treasures. Polished wooden parquet flooring is protected by blocks that support the weight of each work of priceless art and crates containing other paintings imported from their Italian owners await opening and hanging themselves.
