Batik is a traditional Indonesian art form that involves the intricate application of wax and dyes to fabric This summary describes the main processes and techniques used in batik printing. The process begins with the chosen fabric, usually cotton, stretched over a frame. A design is then drawn on the fabric using pencil or charcoal. Next, melted wax, usually derived from beeswax is applied to areas intended not to be stained, forming a protective barrier.This anti-wax zone maintains the original color of the fabric after dyeing. After the waxing process is complete, the fabric will be immersed in the dye bath. Waxed areas will not be stained, ensuring the integrity of the desired pattern. Multiple dye baths may be required, depending on the complexity and depth of color desired. After each dyeing, the fabric is dried and wax can be applied to preserve certain areas. Once the final dyeing process is complete, the fabric will undergo a “waxing” process. This involves boiling the fabric to melt and remove the wax or using a solvent to dissolve the wax The result is a vibrant, intricately patterned fabric in which dyed and undyed areas sit side by side creating the unique visual appeal characteristic of batik art.
