The Uniqueness of Batik : Canting and Copper Block

In Malaysia, usually there’s two major types of batik:-

1.Hand-drawn
2.Block-printed

As the first type looks very classy and elegant, it suits the way it is made. CANTING is the art of fabric drawing which is so unique. The designs are specially created to make them more exclusive. The fabric is drawn with hot liquid wax by using a metal object called CANTING. The artists use their own creativity to make the fabric drawing, making it possesses its own intricate delicacy .  Therefore, each of the hand-drawn batik has its own unique identity. The artists draw the designs with full of patience and extra careful to make their works worth buying. That’s why this kind of batik will cost you a little bit high. 

But still, you will not regret having this in your closet since the quality you get, is the best they can offer. 

The second type of batik is the one that we called block-printed batik. The canting will be replaced by a copper block or sometimes a wooden stamp with artistically patterned bottom. The block-printed fabrics will have similar shapes or patterns as the block is repeatedly used on that particular fabric.
