What is modern batik?

Batik is a technique where wax is applied to fabric using water soluble dyes. Modern Batik technique is a revolutionary repackaged application that enhances the detail of an image on fabric using wax and dyes. The effect that can be achieved through resistant dyeing often results in amazing, unpredictable textures and tone. Modern Batik designs can be as complicated or as simple as the artists desires. They can be realistic and pictorial or purely expressive. The main goal, when working with Modern Batik art, is to enjoy the medium and allow the versatility of wax and dyes to reveal itself gradually to you on fabric. Modern batik technique is fun and easy to experiment with as it leads to more discoveries and lends itself to personal creativity and self expression. This technique is an effective strategy that is engaging and therapeutic to participants of all ages.
