Briefly introduce the production process of batik works.

Batik, as a traditional handicraft, originated in China and developed for thousands of years. Batik works are widely loved by people because of their bright and colorful characteristics. Today, we will briefly introduce the production process of batik works. The first materials to be prepared include cotton cloth, pigments, wax, hot water, heaters, hot melt glue gun, scissors and other tools. Before making batik works, cotton cloth needs to be washed and dried.

Next, use wax to draw patterns or words on the cotton cloth, which can be creative freely or refer to the design template. When drawing lines with wax, you need to use a special wax needle. First, point the wax where you need to draw lines, and then draw lines with wax lines in the order of points.

When all the patterns or characters on the cloth are waxed, it is necessary to use pigments to color the parts on the cloth that are not waxed, and color them according to the requirements of the design scheme. After the cloth is coated with pigment, it needs to be put into a heater for cooking, and the cooking time is generally 1-2 hours, so that the pigment can fully penetrate into the cotton cloth.

When the cloth is dry, it needs to be put into the washing machine for cleaning and wax removal. This step needs to be repeated several times until the wax on the cloth is completely removed. Because wax is insoluble in water, it needs to be washed many times until the cloth is smooth and bright.

Finally, batik works need to be trimmed, sorted, wrapped and other follow-up treatments to become a complete work.

Generally speaking, the production process of batik works is always very time-consuming and tedious, but as long as you master the production skills, you can make beautiful works of art.
