Canting


Canting is the traditional tool used to hand draw batik by applying wax in fine dots and lines on a cloth. Wherever the wax is applied, the cloth resists the next dye bath that it is put in, leaving the white dot/line (or another color if the cloth has already been dyed). The size of most canting are similar, the difference is in the "tip" that allows the wax to flow from the "bowl". Bigger holes in the tip allow wider lines and bigger dots.
