Stop At: Lekha Bathik, Malimboda-Akurugoda-Welihinda Road, Sri Lanka

Batik is very special art, which requires a lot of patience and skill. It is a traditional fabric printing. The word "Batik" means "drawing with wax". The technique must be thousands of years old. It is proved that this art already appeared in the first centuries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

Batik Processing

Batik is a technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth, or cloth made using this technique. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool, called a canting, or by printing the resist with a copper stamp, called a cap. In this way, the applied wax-resists dyes allow the artisan to colour selectively by soaking the cloth in one colour, removing the wax with boiling water, and repeating if multiple colours are desire. Batik making is a process with wax (candle wax), then dyeing, drying, and then cooking the material substances. Everything is done by hand. It requires a skill and over again reviewing what you've created.
