Hand batiked is a fabric art technique that involves applying hot wax to fabric to create a design, then dyeing the fabric and removing the wax. Batik wood employs layers of wax applied with the traditional canting (chanting) tool in detailed classic Javanese motifs. A time-consuming process is required to lay out each pattern in successive layers of wax and dye, and then boiled to remove the wax. Finally, a beautiful work of art, with a velvety finish and deep colors, is completed.
