The subtle art of Batik takes its name from the Javanese (Java island dialect, Indonesia) and means "making points".

 

The batik technique is an old textile dyeing process, in which patterns are hand-made using special tools to draw out liquid wax on textiles. When the wax is cold, the fabric is dipped into a color vault. The wax-covered area remains unaffected by the dye and retains their original color.

 

The process is repeated by the batik artist often as needed, and always in different color baths, making sure that the lighter color tones are dyed first.
