Day Trip: Jadi Batek batik workshop

As i've stated in my last post, we went to a batik workshop to visit, observe and work on our own batik pieces. heheh it was pretty fun xD
OH, i almost forgot to give my greetings ( ._.)/ salutations! -kay back to my topic
At this batik workshop somewhere in KL (click to go directly to their site) we.made.our.own.batikkk :D i have pictures!!
But before that, the themes we came up with:
quite a long list.

the list

arrangements of our batiks

aaand after showing all that to Miss Lisa on Monday, she put her favour in suits. (not the card symbols, the other one on the list) So we worked on sketching the designs after that
Here are the sketches

Rosey's sketches

Aina's sketches (ignore my embarassing KFC sketch..)

SO, on to what we did on Tuesdayyyyyy :D
The day trip to Jadi Batek told in pictures,
and a few captions. :

workers demonstrating their canting skills

wax blocks

where the workers refill their canting with wax

the workstations prepared for us

the various colours layed out for us to use

wax pot + multiple cantings for our class

We start by tracing the designs by pencil on the batik as a guideline.

Rosey and Aina tracing the designs on the batik

Then we move on to applying the wax-canting on the batik.
apologies, i did not take any pictures of us canting as we were kinda busy trying to get the wax even on the cloth.

testing out the colours on batik, a few were mixed by urs truly :P

And finally start painting it in. Kinda like paint by numbers, we fill in paint among the waxed lines.

Rosey and Aina again :) too bad Zu was stuck in sick that day :(

failed attempt to capture an entrance shot from the bus..

And in a nutshell -that is my blog-, that was our partial day trip in Jadi Batek. Who knew it was so interesting to paint batik?? From penciling to canting and finally painting it. Everyone was so focused on getting from one step to the other. After that, we were informed that our batiks would be sent to campus by Friday. Well, it did arrive on Friday, but it came after i went home :( meaning i missed it. Well, i'll have to wait till Tuesday seeing as Monday is a public holiday regarding the general elections happening today.
mmhmmm, thats all for now :)
Till next post. Baiiiiiiiii~
