SENI SHIBORITIK [6 JAN 2016]
Shiboritik is a technique that combines the resist methods of both Asian art of batik and the Japanese art of shibori.
Shibori, although resists the penetration dyes by tying specific areas and using pressure on the fabrics, it is NOT simply tie and dye! The reason, being that there is a deliberate planning and calculation involved and various 'folding' and 'pressing' and tying techniques.
This video shows veteran artist, Fatimah Chik, giving a demonstration on the various forms of shibori.
How batik is combined with shibori can be seen by observing the final art pieces where wax is applied to block out areas, re-dyed and re-applied in symmetrical alignment, which is Fatimah's forte!
She loves both batik and shibori and has pioneered a way to combine the both techniques into a coherent result. She currently owns the trademark for this technique.
