Beeswax

Pure Beeswax is a natural, high-quality wax used in traditional batik and textile art for resist techniques. Its flexible nature makes it ideal for drawing with a tjanting, coating fabric areas, or mixing with paraffin to adjust texture and crackle effects.

Beeswax adheres well to fabric and provides an excellent resist barrier against dyes, allowing artists to create detailed multi-layer patterns. Its natural composition produces minimal smoke when heated and emits a mild, pleasant scent.

Benefits

Natural beeswax is prized for its reliability and ease of use. It melts consistently, spreads evenly, and maintains its integrity through repeated heating cycles — perfect for precise and expressive batik work.

Perfect For:

  • Fine-line batik and detailed resist work
  • Mixing with paraffin for custom wax blends
