Dyeing technique

BATIK

This traditional fabric art often involves wax-resist methods and is especially popular in Indonesia and West Africa. Look for a word that starts with a hard "B" sound.

Batik" is a traditional dyeing method where wax is applied to fabric before dyeing to create intricate patterns. The wax resists the dye, leaving the covered areas their original color, and the process is often repeated for layered designs. It’s especially well-known in Indonesian and Southeast Asian textile traditions.
