Let's take a peek at the mesmerizing process of batik making, where every stroke creates an enchanting beauty.
The initial stage in batik is to determine the motif or pattern to be used, designing the motif is done on paper.
Tracing is an important technique in batik pattern making that allows duplicating an existing beautiful pattern onto a new batik cloth.
The technique of mencanting is to incise liquid malam on the cloth that has been drawn. Mencanting can be done with two techniques, namely using canting and stamping tools.
The coloring process in batik is a magical moment when beautiful colors fill the motif space. A simple tool made of wood wrapped around a cloth can provide the perfect touch of color, starting between the motifs and covering the entire cloth.
Ngelorod is an equally important final stage in batik making, which involves removing the wax with boiling water after the colouring has dried. This process reveals the beauty of the batik colours and motifs that have been created with dedication.
