Weave Batik

Batik is a technique of Hand block printing achieved through resist dyeing. The Gujarati Khatri community was previously recognized as the creators of batik printing. Over time, batik-making practices spread to other Gujarati communities and cultures and eventually to other parts of India. However, it was kept as the métier of aristocratic women because of its delicate hand-painted designs with floral and bird motifs, regarded as symbols of refinement and cultivation. Indigo, brown, and white were frequently utilized in traditional Indian batiks as a tribute to the three Hindu gods, Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva. The patterns and designs are created with a resist dye from hot wax and plant resins. Batik is usually done in cotton fabric. The fabric goes through many stages of washing, soaking, and dyeing. The shielded patterns are then scrapped off to produce a different color. The process is repeated as many times as the number of colors desired.
