Sri Lankan Batik Wall Hangings

Batik is described by the Export Development Board (EDB) as a form of textile art with its own character in Sri Lanka. The EDB craft sector report records batik as made island wide. EDB explains the method: a pattern is created on the cloth with wax and the rest of the cloth is coloured, which leaves a mosaic of coloured and uncoloured areas. This listing is for batik made as tapestry, or wall hangings. EDB notes that batik makers developed tapestry with batik fabrics, and that interior designers use the vibrant colours of batik for tapestry, lamp shades, linen and upholstery. Local artists have developed their own wax resist and dyeing techniques. Typical uses are wall art, interior projects and giftware. Design, size and colours are agreed for each order. These wall hangings are listed as available on request, as a standard craft export of Sri Lanka. Packaging is available on request. Send the designs, sizes and colours, quantity, packing and destination port by email from the Contact page or the How to order page. Documents and test reports can be discussed for each order.
