The art of batik

 

Using a medium you don’t usually use is always good practice and if you are ever travelling in Malaysia it is the ideal place to do some batik. It is available in many places but very few allow you to do the pouring of the wax which can be a lot harder than painting on the silk or cotton. For those visiting Kuala Lumpur it’s well worth a visit it Jaki Batek. You can choose a design, or do your own, then trace the outline with wax and spend a happy few hours painting.
