What is "batik"?
Batik is a traditional textile art form that involves applying wax to fabric to create intricate, multi-colored patterns. The process begins by drawing designs on fabric with hot wax, which resists dye. The fabric is then dyed, and the wax is removed to reveal the original design. This technique allows for the creation of detailed and vibrant patterns, often featuring geometric shapes or floral motifs. Batik is commonly used for making clothing, scarves, and decorative items, and it is valued for its unique, handcrafted appearance.
