Batik represents a traditional art form in Indonesia, with its name believed to originate from ‘ambatik,’ meaning ‘a cloth with little dots.’ This technique involves wax-resist dyeing applied to fabric.

• 🎨 Batik is created by either drawing dots and lines with a canting or printing the resist using a copper stamp called a cap.
• 🌈 The wax applied resists dyes, allowing artisans to color selectively, often requiring multiple steps for various colors.
• 🪑 This technique extends beyond fabric, also appearing on wooden handicrafts and other media.
• ✏️ Participants will learn to draw Batik patterns using the canting and color the Batik during their experience.
