Description
African print batik is a vibrant textile art form characterized by its intricate patterns and rich colors. This technique involves a wax-resist dyeing process, where hot wax is applied to fabric to create designs. Areas covered in wax resist dye, allowing the original fabric color to show through once the wax is removed.
Key Features:
- Designs: Patterns often include geometric shapes, floral motifs, and symbols with cultural significance.
- Colors: The fabrics are known for their bold and bright color palettes, including reds, yellows, greens, and blues, each carrying its own meaning.
- Cultural Significance: Batik reflects African heritage, with designs that tell stories about identity, community, and tradition
