Batik is the ancient art of applying wax to fabric to resist dye. While the art exists in various forms all over the world, it has become a great art form on the islands of Indonesia. These batiks are dyed by hand, in Bali using the following process. The wax is applied to the fabric with a pen or a stamp. Once it is applied, the fabric is immersed in dye. The areas that have wax, will resist the dye. The wax is then removed from the fabric by boiling. If additional colors are applied, the previously dyed areas may be waxed and covered before the new colors are applied. The process can be repeated over and over until the pattern is finished. The process of dying, boiling and drying produces a fabric that is fairly shrink resistant. After dyeing is competed and the last of the wax has been removed from the cloth, the finished fabric is laid out on the ground to dry. It is then pressed, rolled on flat boards or tubes and shipped to markets over the globe.
