Batiking is a traditional textile dyeing technique that involves applying wax to cloth in specific patterns. The wax-resist process prevents dye from penetrating the waxed areas, creating intricate designs. After dyeing, the wax is removed, revealing the pattern in the dyed fabric. This method is commonly used in Indonesia, especially in Bali and Java, to produce decorative textiles with detailed motifs.

A Gelli Plate is a special, flexible, and smooth surface used for printing artwork. Artists put paint on the plate, create designs or patterns by pressing objects or stencils into the paint, and then press paper onto it to make a print. It is a fun and easy way to make colorful, textured prints without needing a traditional printing press.
