# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Wax and Wonder: Batik as World Art
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 11 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Batik is a textile art form in which wax or another resist material is applied to cloth to prevent dye from penetrating specific areas of the fabric. In Java, where the tradition reached its highest refinement, there are two types of batik: batik tulis, the older and more painstaking technique, in which the wax is hand-drawn onto the cloth using a pen-like tool called a canting; and batik cap, developed in the mid-nineteenth century, in which a copper stamp is used to apply the wax to allow faster, more repetitive production. In this talk we will explore the story of batik and its remarkable reach and influence across the world.
