    The hot wax dye process of batik will be used to create unique paintings on cotton. We start by applying wax to save the white areas and continue applying dyes as we paint the picture. The entire painting will be soaked in black dye to create the "batik" look. When the wax is melted off, the painting is complete. All materials included.
