A tjanting tool (also known as canting) is used in creating batik patterns. (Batik is a wax resist decorative technique used on fabric.) They hold and dispense hot wax in such a way that the artist can control the pattern laid down by the wax with a great deal of precision.

How does a tjanting tool work?

A tjanting tool is a traditional Indonesian instrument used in the batik dyeing process. It consists of a small metal reservoir attached to a wooden handle, which holds hot wax. When the tjanting is dipped into the molten wax, the artisan can draw intricate designs on fabric by allowing the wax to flow from the spout, creating fine lines and patterns that resist dye during the subsequent coloring process. The precision of the tjanting allows for detailed artwork, making it an essential tool in batik craftsmanship.
