Tjap, pronounced “chop” is a batik fabric stamp created with thin strips of copper that are manipulated by hand into florals, geometrics, or other motifs. These beautiful motifs are then welded onto a metal base. These motifs are typically denser and medium or large in design. Color combinations vary for more depth and movement.
The art of batik making has been around for centuries. To create breathtaking batiks, a copper Tjap is dipped into melted wax and skillfully stamped onto hand-dyed fabric. The wax sets into the fibers and conceals the color of the hand-dye. The fabric is then prepared for a second layer of color. Once the fabric has dried in the bright Indonesian sunshine, the fabric soaks in a hot bath to remove the wax from the fibers to reveal the striking and colorful design underneath.
