Circular Batik

by Ahmed Khatri

This unique design will liven up a room. Rather than using the stripe patterns common amongst Khatri printers, Ahmedbhai has created a circular pattern. He made this intricate design using many different colors, and printed the cloth a total of five times. When doing batik printing, you must be very careful or the colors will run. This piece is a proven masterpiece because the whites are so bright!

How was this piece made

The process of making Batik Print

Batik Blockprinting has a process that involves using wax as a resist material. The wax is heated, and printed using a carved wooden block on a plain piece of cloth. The cloth is left to dry and the wax hardens. Afterwards, it is dyed in color. The effect produced is a veinlike quality that creates intricate, thin web-like patterns across the cloth. The printing, washing, and dyeing process is repeated several times in order to acheive a multiple colored fabric.
