Kuala Lumpur. (Nov 30, 2012) — Kuala Lumpur's newest cultural centre,myBatik Visitor Centre, an all-new concept in regional cultural center, will officially welcome its first guests on Monday, December 3rd, 2012, at Yayasan Seni, Persiaran Ritchie, Jalan Ampang. myBatik Visitor Center, a center for arts, knowledge, entertainment, and culture, will engage people of all ages via the showcase of prestigious and world-class batik exhibitions in addition to exhibits, workshops and programs highlighting the unique heritage of the region. Yayasan Seni, which has been supporting Malaysian art and craft since 1983 is lending a hand by providing the venue for the cultural centre.
One major goal of the centre is to provide a True Malaysian Batik Experience for Malaysians and expatriates. It took me 8 years to develop the idea before bringing it to fruition. Located at a strategic location, the centre is only 5 minutes drive from Kuala Lumpur City Centre and our target is to bring in 100 thousand visitors annually, said Emilia Tan, managing director of myBatik Visitor Centre. This exciting new addition to Kuala Lumpur's cultural scene will be buzzing with both the featured exhibit and an electic mix of companion activities and events.
A new model for urban cultural centers the centre will feature a unique variety of changing exhibitions, special events, lectures, classes and weekend festivals.As part of the exciting, ongoing revitalization of downtown Kuala Lumpur, myBatik Visitor Centre hopes to become a vibrant community and cultural landmark for the city, the country and beyond, added Emilia. Our goal to create a contemporary regional facility is about to become a reality and benefit batik artists and all of Malaysia.
myBatik Visitor Center visitors will marvel at beautiful batik paintings and exciting workshops hosted by various Malaysian and regional batik artists. We plan to broaden people's awareness of the matters and issues outside their immediate environment by introducing craft makers and home based artists and their works to art lovers. From January 2013 onwards, we plan to organise a Charity Art & Craft Bazaar every weekend and we are proud to work hand in hand with our event partner, Duta Exhibition & Events in promoting the works of these artists, said Emilia Tan. Presented concurrently with the media open house will be special themed weekends showcasing aspects of batik production such as a demonstration of Batik Canting by Emilia Tan, an artisan who specializes in recreating batik using authentic techniques and historical re-enactments of Malaysian history.

NTV 7 feature Malaysian Batik by Emilia Tan
Batik is a technique for decorating textiles, by which parts of the textile that are not to be coloured are covered in molten wax. The wax prevents the textile from absorbing the dye during the decorating process.
The word batik is of Indonesian origin, and is related to a Malay word for dot or point, titik and the Javanese word amba, meaning to write.
The technique of covering or 'reserving' parts of a textile with some paste or liquid material in order to create a pattern has been found in many different parts of the world. Theories about the origin of the technique are uncertain. It is known from India, Sri Lanka, China, Japan, Southeast Asia, Turkestan, and West Africa.
The origin of batik production in Malaysia is not easy to trace. However, it is known for certain that the Javanese influenced Malay batik-making technically as well as in the development of designs. At an early stage the Malaysians used wooden blocks in order to produce batik-like textiles. As late as the 1920s Javanese batik makers introduced the use of wax and copper blocks on the East Coast.
The production of hand drawn batik in Malaysia is a recent development and is related to the Javanese batek tulis. Commercial production started in the 1960s. This craft has developed its own particular aesthetic and design, peculiar to Malaysia. The new Malaysian batik is clearly different from the Javanese tradition of hand-painted batiks.
let's see how Emilia Tan's working on her batik painting with canting ...
Hand-painted batik
Hand-painting of batik in Malaysia builds on traditions from the Javanese hand-painted batek tulis. In Java the pattern was traced on both sides before the fabric was soaked in the dye. In present-day Malaysia the process is as follows: The prepared and measured-out fabric is stretched over a metal or wooden frame. The pattern is traced with a soft pencil. The canting is filled 2/3 with liquid wax, and the utensil is held at an angle against the cloth. The artist has to be extremely precise and careful to obtain a smooth flow of wax. The utensil will have to be dipped frequently into the wax pot to keep the optimal temperature. If the wax is too hot it will penetrate the fibres too deeply, and is difficult to remove. If it is too cold it will not fasten properly.
When the waxing is finished on one side of the fabric, it is left to dry. If the wax has not penetrated the fabric properly the operation is repeated on the other side. The next step is painting the parts of the fabric that are not covered in wax. The painter uses brushes of different sizes, and larger areas may be coloured with a sponge. The shade can be varied by adding water or more colour. The colour has to dry before fixing. Finally the wax is removed in hot water, and the fabric is rinsed several times in order to remove excess dye and residues of wax,

Hey what's up guys this is Johnson for JohnsonMalaysia.com welcome to Malaysia today as usual, I am going for a very interesting traditional Malaysian thingy.
What Souvenir KL
Most of the time when I bring tourist, they do ask me “Johnson what is the best thing I can get from Malaysia / Kuala Lumpur”. Many tourists not aware things that are call as Malaysian Souvenir are not from Malaysian but from foreign countries, sold at the Point of Interest. I have nothing against them, but surely you want something Malaysian! Right?
Licensed tour guide
Personally, I always advise tourist to look at what I'm wearing, I mean my shirt. I am a government of Malaysia Licenced Tourist Guide and as one, I am required to be on a batik shirt, while I’m doing tour guiding.
Forty years’ experience
I'm meeting up with my friend, who I know some 6 years now. He's Mr. Lazim. Lazim have been doing painting for the past almost 40 years. He's a very humble and patient man, who will teach you even when you make many mistakes. I made an appointment with him to learn batik painting today.
Huge painting
Mr. Lazim, when I met, he was doing hand drawn batik design on a huge piece of cloth. As you watch my video. He is going through step by step on how to produce a batik painting. He showed the tools need, like canting copper pen like wax tool, Resin from pine tree, wax, cotton cloth / silk colors are the material needed. Basically, Batik means drawing using molten wax.
History
The Egyptian could have been the earliest to apply, it was found in the wrapping of the Mummy using linen cloth mixed with wax. Somehow this technique was introduced to the Archipelago. The Javanese became pioneers and later came to Malaya, especially the state of Kelantan and Terengganu. In the past, it was a for the royalties. Once, during the Malacca sultanate period, (if you would like to go on a Malacca / Melaka tour, please don't forget to contact JohnsonMalaysia.com for the UNESCO World Heritage site historical tour.)
40 Batik Design
The Sultan of Malacca then was interested in Batik cloth, His Highness asked his great man to search for designs from India. His Highness wanted at least 40 different designs geometrically and flower / flora. Unfortunately the sent authority was unable to find such and he decided to create his own design, however on the way back from India the ship capsized. The designed cloths were destroyed with only two remaining. The Melaka Sultan was not pleased.
Official attire
Time has moved on now, so many different designs for men and woman. The government of Malaysia has made Thursday as batik attire day. The Malaysian batik is very unique by its own designs. Also colorings are vibrant and bright, like chili red, beautiful butterflies, leaves and floral designs.
Today, Mr Lazim is going to teach me on the basic of batik painting. I would like to introduce this to all my tourists who want to follow in my KL historical or heritage tours, come and try. First, it looks professional and you might not have the confidence to do, but once you follow surely you can, so please watch the whole video and see how technique is applied.
