“Batik Making”
Originally an Indonesia craft, batik is today an integral part of the Malaysian makeup. Batik making, an ancient craft developed over at least two thousand years, is a method of producing coloured prints on textiles by waxing. The designs and patterns are drawn by hand or stenciled, and often reflect native floral, birds and butterflies. The motifs and colours on batik are produced on clothing such as shirts and sarongs, cushion covers, tablecloth, placemats and handkerchiefs, to name just a few. In this place, you will be able to observe the actual process of “batik-making”.
