Tjanting Tool Bowl Spout for Batik Wax Work - Brass

The Tjanting Tool is primarily used in batik (a technique of wax-resist dyeing on fabric) and has several important uses:

1. Wax Application for Batik – The main use is to apply hot, melted wax onto fabric in intricate patterns. The spout of the tool allows for precision, making it ideal for creating fine lines and detailed designs.

2. Designing – Artists use the tool to draw or trace patterns directly on fabric, which will later resist dye, creating the desired design.

3. Textile Art – It’s used in various textile art forms for decorating fabrics, making it essential for creating batik garments, home decor, and other fabric-based crafts.

4. Craft Projects – Besides traditional batik, the tool can be used for other types of fabric-based projects where precise wax application is needed, such as on canvas or silk.

5. Dyeing Process – After applying the wax using the Tjanting tool, the fabric is dyed, and the areas covered with wax will resist the dye, leaving behind the original color of the fabric in the waxed design.
