How Batik is Made ( cara buat batik )

To make batik we need equipment such as : white cloth ( can silken , cloth Mixture , Of cotton or polyester ). pencil to draw batik's desain ,canting which is made of bamboo , leading cooper and also have nozzle or trap : this canting functions like a pen , canting is used to transfer and spoon hot liquid wax , which is used to protect or cover the colour , gate ( place to put to the sun cloth ) ,wax , small stove and litte pan to heat ..

its step shall be as follows :

1) first step to make batik 's design above white cloth with pencil is usually called molani . in determination of pattern , usually every body has own apptite . some prefer to make their own pattern , the others follow common patterns which have been made .

2) second step is to use canting which has contained liquid wax to arrange in layers the wanted motif . its purpose is to dip the cloth a moment into colourant condensation so that materials , part of which given by wax coat can not be hit . after running dry , plunge the cloth into colourant condesation . 

3) last process is nglorot , cloth which have turned colour to be braised with hot water . the purpose is to elimate wax coat , so that pattern which have been drawn is stand-out . you need not to worry , this dipping will not make your pattern which have been drawn to mix with colour , because the cloth tabletop is still blanketed by filmsy coat ( wax do not fully discolour ) .

the result is known as batik tulis . that name is given , because besides batik tulis ( hand drawn ) , there are also batik cap ( stamped batik ) , batik piring , batik painting and silk screening  ....
