Repeat Batik Print

An all over print using Batik method.

 This is a slow process time consuming process.

A template needs to be created from cloth and very hot wax, which is then left too cool

before the template is layed upon the chosen fabric and then colour applied.

Heating the stamp and wax to optimum temperature

Tye dyeing at the Batik house

This Particular batik house was a shocker to me, the work place resembling a run down barn.

However it was suited for all the processes and chemicals involved in for batik effects.  If anything  on the positive front, the environment was well thought out.  Less to clean, ventilated, shaded without the any aesthetic cover up bringing home the fact, it's about the product!!

These photos explain the process of tye dyeing for themselves.
