This instructional book aims to elevate the understanding of batik, an intricate dyeing technique with ancient roots, particularly from Java, while offering practical advice for both amateur and professional textile craftworkers. The text aims to clarify misconceptions about the craft—highlighting its complexity and artistry—while emphasizing the significance of patience and design knowledge. The book covers the historical context of batik in Java and Holland, delves into the essential tools and materials required for the craft, and provides a thorough walkthrough of the batik process itself. Mijer explains the meticulous steps involved, from preparing the fabric and sketching designs to applying wax and dye in layered techniques. Notable sections address the various types of tjantings (the wax applicators), dyeing techniques with a focus on color mixing, temperature control, and tips for maintaining the integrity of the dye process. Mijer also illustrates the cultural significance of patterns and colors used in batik, making this not just a manual but a rich exploration of the craft's artistic and sociocultural dimensions.
