Batik is a dyeing technique using wax resist. The term is also used to describe patterned textiles created with that technique. Batik is made by drawing or stamping wax on a cloth to prevent colour absorption during the dyeing process. This creates a patterned negative when the wax is removed from the dyed cloth.

Block printing in India consists of stamping coloured designs on fabric using specially carved traditional wooden blocks. The repeated printing pattern brings life to the final design.
