One of the goals I gave myself this year is to learn and develop more printing techniques. One of these is a resist printing technique using a clay paste and indigo. I made the clay paste that can be thickened or thinned for painting or printing, painted on a madder root dyed napkin to test out how the clay would cover and keep the red, dyeing all other areas with the blue. The second to last image of the fabric on concrete illustrates how indigo liquid in the vat is yellowy green and slowly turns blue once exposed to oxygen. I have a handful of printing ideas ready to go so there will hopefully be new designs and offerings of this sort in the near future. 

The Bunta, wooden blocks are used for printing in the process of Batik printing. These wooden blocks are carefully hand carved by skilled artisans with handles to hold and 2-3 holes for air circulation during printing. The fabric to be printed is washed and dried, and then is stretched onto the printing table. The process of Batik block printing starts with melting the wax and then blocks being dipped in it and then stamped on the fabric in the desired pattern. This fabric is then dyed in the required colour, where the wax acts as a resist and the dye does not penetrate the waxed areas. #batik #indianbatik #batiktechnique #resistdyeing #wax #blockprinting #woodenblocks https://www.instagram.com/p/B938Y47JHSJ/?igshid=57nw4vttlkrp
