Cold Wax

Cold Wax is a ready-to-use resist medium for fabric painting and batik techniques where you want wax-like control without heat. It can be applied with a brush, sponge, or spatula to create barriers, textures, or layered effects before dyeing or painting. Once dry, the wax resists colour penetration, allowing you to layer designs or highlight negative space.

Unlike traditional batik wax, Cold Wax cleans up easily with warm water and detergent — no melting, fumes, or special pots required. It’s ideal for studios, classrooms, or artists working on smaller surfaces who prefer a safer, low-temperature alternative.

Benefits

Cold Wax brings the freedom of batik to any workspace — safe, simple, and adaptable. It’s perfect for modern surface design where traditional waxing isn’t practical.

Perfect For:

  • Resist work in silk or cotton painting
  • Layered textile art and experimental dyeing
  • Classroom or home studios avoiding hot wax handling
