Batik/ Tie Dye

BATIK FABRIC
The act of making batik fascinates me, the unique usage and application of wax distinguishes it from other textile prints. Batiking originated in Asia and was most developed in the Java Islands of Indonesia in the 13th century. The art of batik history has been passed down in Ghana, Africa for generations, each region producing its own unique patterns and colours. This method uses repeated layers of wax and dye applied to the fabric, yielding an overlapping colour design.

These images below are tie-dye batik works, some are a combination of both techniques and are produced by me personally or through my assistance
