Batik - High School Art Lesson

[@bagasputra8590]

Hi! Indonesian here. Thank you very much for sharing your project on KZbin. Love the video greatly :)

[@carolshanti8627]

Hi Angela, your batik using wax is just so beautiful. I like the way you had used brown and orange in your work. Splendid ! I have done some t-shirt painting with fabric paints. I am going to attempt batik painting after seeing your work.

[@alexg4690]

This is an amazing project! I think the explanation is so clear and everyone can follow the instructions easily. Thank you Angela for sharing.

[@brigettescottageplants946]

Fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing this ❤🎉

[@MissStockley1]

do you wash the fabric once it is finished, or set the dye permanently?

[@lindaseverns420]

Your video is very good and has inspired my desire to delve into the art of batiking. Thank you

[@elizabethwallsmith9687]

What dye do you recommend?

[@lisajarvis2838]

I’m assuming that the fabric was cotton- when I “can” get all the tools-then I’m going to have a go

[@3aboytk]

Can I wash a batik painting with normal soap? hand wash or laundry??? This is because my painting is a little bit dirty of dust and mold in the corners :(

[@creativevideosfunnyvideosv6442]

for Bathik art what kind of colours are we use... where can we get

[@innanangoi]

Hi! Lovely work! How do you prepare your dye? Do you use salt or sodium carbonate? Thanks!

[@benitaklein3967]

This video isn't for a beginning teacher. What type of material? Why did you thicken the colors and with what medium?

[@angeladavidson1027]

I used a cotton muslin for fabric. I thicken the dye so it will go on like a paint rather than a liquid

[@FOSSILFERN10]

What kind of wax or wax mixture do you use?

[@AddArtist64]

I used a paraffin/Bees Wax mixture. I found that pure bees wax was too hard and would crack too much. A mixture worked well.

[@CoxJoxSox]

You do a great job Angela :D

[@fatmarayad1724]

I love it what kind of wax or mixed wax

[@AddArtist64]

a Mix of Paraffin and Beeswax

[@merylgodwin1872]

What kind of dye do you use

[@AddArtist64]

Procion Fiber Reactive Dye

[@alfcnz]

Impressive lesson, really informative. Two advises, though: have a top view camera, and show the final result of your work. I was like "and what's the outcome???". Anyhow, well done!

[@ronya1768]

CAN YOU COLOR THE WAX FOR OTHER COLORS?

[@ikramshikooh898]

Hi Angela, at the end can the wax be removed by boiling in water instead of using an iron? Thanks!

[@AddArtist64]

Yes, you can. I sometimes find that I lose some color from the dye when I put it in boiling water.

[@tashmikarajakaruna1807]

can u please tell the steps in making the die for this process!! with amounts to use😶

[@carlosb3102]

Great video, excuse me what is the commercial name of.the dye , i see it works in cold. Please help

[@AddArtist64]

Procion Fiber Reactive Dye

[@lisajarvis2838]

What was are you using

[@FOSSILFERN10]

A 50/50 mix?

[@AddArtist64]

Yes. Many of the art supply companies sell a Batik Wax which is a 50/50 mix.

[@CoxJoxSox]

That pink color is stunning

[@martituck3124]

Thanks for a great tutorial! I'm wanting to try this with my high school art class. What kind of wax do you use? And do you need to fix the dye with anything (soda ash, etc)?

[@AddArtist64]

I used a batik wax that is a mix of Paraffin and bees wax. I added soda ash to the dye mixture with some alum and/or sodium alganate (which thickens the dye)

[@martituck3124]

Thanks for your response! Do you just add the soda ash and alum into your jars with the dye? And what are the proportions?

[@AddArtist64]

I would often mix the dye in a 16 oz plastic jar with a screw on lid. I would use approx 1-2 tsp of dye, 1 Tbls of soda ash and 1/4-1/2 tsp of sodium Alginate dye thickener. You can adjust add more dye if you need a richer color. A small amount of thickener works well - more can be added as needed. DharmaTradingCo may have instructions on their website.

[@angeladavidson1027]

They do last a few weeks.. If they lose intensity, you can easily mix up a fresh amount.

[@elizabethwallsmith9687]

Love this and want to try this with my Art 1 class. Do you have a supply list or lesson I could purchase?

[@meeqatkhan5673]

Well done ma'am I love it

[@suefox8588]

WHAT DYES DO YOU RECOMMEND?

[@AddArtist64]

I use Jacquard Procion Fiber Reactive Dyes

[@sushantamate2317]

Hi what's your coloure name and coloure mathod

[@ronya1768]

WHAT KIND OF DYE YOU USE DUPONT OR PROCION MX?

[@angeladavidson1027]

procion Dyes work well

[@akosuatait3032]

THANK YOU. What kind of dye do you use?

[@AddArtist64]

Procion Fiber Reactive Dyes

[@akosuatait3032]

Thanks

[@sobanoodlegamer]

My dyes wont spread. They are weak and not very reactice. Im using procion, what could i be doing wrong?

[@AddArtist64]

I do use a nice concentration of dye with water (about a tsp of procion dye in a 28oz jar) and a tiny amount of the Sodium Alginate as a thickener. If the dye has been sitting for a few weeks and is less saturated, I will add a little more dye to it or make a fresh batch.

[@sobanoodlegamer]

Angela Davidson thank you. The kids love making this batik project. I couldt get the die to spread super well but they paint it on and use droppers and its looking gorgeous

[@紫嘉-r9p]

I have to do this in primary school!

[@peggytaylor7917]

Nice work!Thanks

[@sarahgray6269]

That’s amazing thank you so much it’s really inspiring

[@pampicone2580]

Thank you so much, I have been looking for this technique that I learned in high school. So grateful! Please I need to know...What kind of fabric are you using? 100% cotton or something special? Thanks again Angela!

[@AddArtist64]

I use a 100% cotton Muslin fabric. I do like the White Kona Muslin as it is a little heavier. I have used the lighter weight muslin as well. Wash it before using it. There is often sizing on fabric that should be washed away. The dye will adhere better.

[@lisajarvis2838]

What dyes are theses

[@AddArtist64]

they are Procion Fiber Reactive Dyes. I have used both Jacquard and Rit Dyes.

[@quiddsbie]

[@MissFitz1975]

Thank you for sharing this!!

[@lisajarvis2838]

Please can you help me- I’ve been trying for a while now and can’t get decent TJanting tools here in Wales 🇬🇧- every place I seem to find online doesn’t ship to 🇬🇧- HELP😭

[@AddArtist64]

I am not sure. I do know that in the US you can get them at Dharma Trading Co. or Blick Art Materials. I am not sure if they ship to the UK. they are an Indonesian art form and you would think that you could get them somewhere.

[@Lightlovedivine]

I saw in eBay send worldwide

[@Feeoryne]

Paper towels? It seems very wasteful!
