Motif & Batik Process

This "Clouds" motif symbolizes the long-awaited carrier of rain as the bearer of fertility and the giver of life. Inspired by Chinese ceramics clouds motif brought by traders from China in 16th century on the North Coast of Java island. See Batik Patterns & Motifs for more info.

Both canting (hand-drawn tool) and copper stamp are used for applying malam (hot wax) to create the design on this cotton scarf. The fabric is then hand dipped in dye for a few times to achieve the color intended. The fabric covered by wax resist the dye. This process is repeated for each color, then fabric is dipped in boiling water to remove the wax and dried under the sunlight to bring out the vibrant color. The wax then going through recycling process to be re-used. See Batik Art for more info.
