MEANING OF BATIK

Batik is the process of covering certain areas of fabric not intended to be dyed using removable wax. Batik is a textile craft which involves the application of melted wax on fabric to create beautiful patterns and dipping the waxed fabric in the dye solution. After dyeing the waxed fabric, it is de-waxed to expose the design visibly.
