| Ethnic
Fabrics - Batik Prints |
| Batik
is a technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth,
or cloth made using this technique. |
| 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 the wooden block. |
| 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. |
