Batik, a form of art and craft, which mainly found in the Far East, Middle East, Central Asia and India from over 2000 years ago. It has becoming more well known for its innovative and creative designs on cloth by employing traditional methodology of implying wax and dye which has been practicing over the years.
In the archipelago of the Indo-China, such as Malaysia or Indonesia, batik is part of an ancient tradition, where you can find some of the world finest batik cloth is still made at these part of the South East Asia. The word batik originates from the Javanese tik that means to dot.
The art of Batik has been facinating, especially with the personal endorsement by our late First Lady, Datin Seri Endon, for her love towards Batik and its colourful culture.
Batik itself is rich with traditions, full with colour. As what Batik Guild has written, "Batik is historically the most expressive and subtle of the resist methods. The ever widening range of techniques available offers the artist the opportunity to explore a unique process in a flexible and exciting way."
