Batik drawing is the process of waxing and dyeing cloth by human hands using wax-resist and dye techniques. All the designs you find in Best Batik are uniquely drawn. They are painted in wax by hand with a tool known as the canting. The canting consists of a small copper cup on top of a wooden handle with a spout through which melted wax can flow out onto the cloth. Usually, the cloth is nailed onto a wooden frame according to the length of the cloth. Our Batik artists will then dip into the melted wax using the canting tool and begin drawing freely based on their creativity onto the cloth.

It is very easy to determine whether a batik is genuinely hand drawn. The color of genuine hand drawn batik will be exactly as vivid on both side of the cloth, whereas printed batik has only one side of the colorful drawings.
