Batik is a traditional art form in Indonesia, and the word batik is thought to be derived from the word ‘ambatik’ which translated means ‘a cloth with little dots’. The suffix ‘tik’ means little dot, drop, point or to make dots. It is a technique of wax-resist dyeing applied fabric. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a canting, or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap. The applied wax resists dyes and therefore allows the artisan to colour selectively by soaking the cloth in one colour, removing the wax with boiling water, and repeating if multiple colours are desired
Now the technique of batik can be found not only on fabric but also on wooden handicrafts and other media. If you love the intricacy and history of Batik, then you should try your hand at learning the process.
