the Batik technique

Batik is a traditional fabric dyeing technique originating from Indonesia that involves applying wax to certain areas of cloth to resist dye. The process begins with drawing designs on the fabric using hot wax, which prevents dye from soaking into those parts. After the desired colors are applied, the wax is removed, revealing intricate patterns. Batik is known for its vibrant colors and detailed motifs, often reflecting cultural stories or themes. It is not only an art form but also a method of fabric creation that combines craftsmanship with cultural expression.
