Batik is a process
using ‘resists’ for making designs on a fabric. The conventional Batikprocess has a resist or a
physical block in some form or the other to prevent desired areas on the fabric
from being penetrated by dye. Generally wax is used as a resist in Batik. The
block printed areas where resists are in place, come out as un-dyed areas in
the dyed fabric and could be coloured differently in repeat wax dye process.
This can be repeated several times at the same place or different places with
wax-dye process time and again for every subsequent colour change.
Batik can be done with various types of dye & wax on cotton, silk
and other natural fabrics. Cotton is easy to work with and generally gives best
results. Repeated waxing and dyeing over the same place gets newer overlapping
results. The idea in multi-layer colouring is to start with lighter shades of
the dye and proceed to deeper ones. Here care is taken that wax resist is
neither light nor heavy since lighter would mean possible penetration of dye
onto resist area and heavy would mean the wax will not resist properly and
could cause patches or dye spreads when removed.
The rarer type of Batik is Pen Batik. Fine designs are made on
the fabric using ‘Tjanting’ tools. Molten wax at a certain temperature is
carefully put on the design lines with Batik
dropper pen. A lot of care has to be exercised. Too thin a
layer could give way to colour dye through surface cracks. Temperature of the
wax is normally kept between 200 and 230 degrees. In the former or conventional
method vats or tubs with boiling water are used to melt away the wax. In the
latter a small tub with hot water is generally preferred.
After the entire resist dyeing process is over, and the wax has
melted away in hot water, a neatly dyed plain or designed fabric is available.
