Androsia Batik Factory

24° 43.3′ N · 77° 47.1′ W

The workshop where Andros's hand-waxed, brightly dyed Androsia batik has been made since the early 1970s, next to the Lighthouse Club at Fresh Creek.

Practical

Position decoded from the factory's plus code (P6C7+VX5, Andros Town) on androsia.com. Phone +1 242-376-9339. My Out Islands says staff give factory tours. A 2024 cruiser took a batik class here and needed four days to get the finished fabric back, so book early in a long stay. Wikipedia dates manufacture on Andros from 1973 (the company site says the Birch family started it in the late 1960s).
