]]> Batik printing is a form of textile art wherein a piece cloth is decorated by covering it with a coat of wax and then dyeing it. The word ‘Batik’ means ‘wax writing’ and its journey through the ages proves that it is more than just a handicraft. In the small village of Mundra, Kutch, Gujarat, the art Batik printing has been handed down through generations and is still a main source of income for the people living here. These Batik prints feature a three-dimensional look with traditionally inspired motifs representing various folk scenes and deities, nature elements such as birds, flowers, bees, leaves, and several other more complex geometrical designs. These prints give the impression of a kaleidoscopic dream as they imbibe the colours of the universe and patterns of nature.

]]> A lot can be done with a few layers of wax. Batik, the ancient craft form of wax-resist dyeing is practiced in various parts of the world. In this method of printing, desired patterns are made on the fabric with wax and then dyed to get the characteristic patchy patterns. The fabric is washed in hot water to get rid of the wax and what remains is the printed fabric. Repeating this multiple times gives desirable effects. It is one of the most innovative forms of textile printing in the world.
