Batik is a method of dyeing fabric using a wax-resist technique. In Barbados, batik is used to create colourful fabrics for use either decoratively or as clothing. The batik produced locally typically reflects the vibrant colours of the Caribbean including various hues of blue reflecting the waters and brilliant skies, greens found all around in nature, and orange & red of tropical flora and glorious sunsets.
