Batik

Batik

AMDT Fashion Design degree students used their creativity and combined Tie & dye techniques with traditional batik techniques to come up with contemporary design approaches.

The batik industry in Sri Lanka has developed into a unique form of textile art exclusive to the country.

In its purest form batik is a method of decorating a piece of cloth by creating patterns on it with wax and coloring the rest of the piece of cloth, creating a vibrant mosaic with colored and uncolored areas.

Origin: Batik was originated in Indonesia and introduced to Sri Lanka by Dutch at the turn of the 19th century.
