About the Art Form:

Malaysian batik is a lesser-known textile tradition that blends intricate wax-resist techniques with bold tropical motifs and vibrant colour play.
Unlike the popularly known Batik print, this technique uses more vibrant colours compared to the earthy colours found in Indonesian batik.
Malaysian batik uses brush-painting techniques, making it both expressive and accessible to learn.
