- 3. LearnTheArt of Batik LearnTheArt of Batik Gather your materials. You'll need a pencil, tjanting needles, a large, natural fiber cloth (cotton is great), fabric dyes, and batik wax. You'll also need fabric scissors, water and popsicle sticks, and paintbrushes in various thicknesses. Tjanting needles are a traditional tool used for pouring hot wax to make batik, and they're still used extensively today! BEGIN HERE Tape your cloth down, and begin drawing your design with your pencil. Keep your strokes light to avoid seeing the pencil marks on your final piece. If you're inexperienced, stick to large objects without too much detail. While contemporary batik features many abstract objects, traditional batik designs were influenced by nature and folk stories. Which one will you design? START THE ART
- 4. Use your largest brush and paint over the entire work with wax. Once it's dry, "crackle" your wax by folding and crumpling your cloth. Dip the cloth in a bucket of black dye to get the batik effect. THEN THE NEXT STEP "Drip" the wax onto your piece with the tjanting needles. Remember that anything the wax touches will be white in your final work. When you're happy with your wax job, take your dye and paint over the piece. In traditional batik making, the cloth is dipped into dye baths three to four times. The stark contrast of the white and the dye make batik artwork vibrant and colorful!
- 5. When everything's dry, iron off the wax by placing your cloth in between newspaper and using a hot iron to melt off the wax. Hope you enjoyed this amazing process! FINISH THE PIECE Thank you for listening!
