by Tatyana Agababayeva
Azerbaijan

I want to speak about hot batic technic and show works.I'm a famous artist of Azerbaijan and my works are in many countries all over the world.I have some works also in Malazia.

Batic in Azerbaijan to the Batic-one from the most ancient ways of the art. Registration of fabrics, the special place in an applied art is taken away. Already word “batic” in transfer with Javanese literally designates “drawing by hot wax”. It’s usial to consider as the native land of a batic island Java in Indonesia. There the batic was known in 13 century.И from here tritely raised, philosophical, mystical relation to a batic not only as to unique product, but also expressing! The spiritual beginning of each people, carefully storing samples as a precious heritage. Peru, Japan, Iraq, China, India, Egypt is significant, that in the list of the countries where from an antiquity used a batic, such as Indonesia, Шри—Ланка, Azerbaijan is switched on also. Original national silk crafts—calagai within centuries were a lady's wear integral part. Ornamental drawing on calagai put a batic method, dipping in a hot reserving mix stamps—галибы. And varying various carved галибы, a punching method created surprising on beauty calagai. It is interesting, that by tradition by cocoons, spinning, women and girls were engaged basically, and here the manual press hot wax trusted only in men—to artists. After disorder of the USSR шелководство and manufacture calagai in Azerbaijan has fallen into decay. But, thanks to self-denying job of a centre of science “Inkishaf” with Rena Ibragimbekova and at financial support of the Japanese embassy and the sponsor's help of not indifferent heads of some local organizations.Was manufacture of a silk fabric in the Sheknnsky centre is renewed, and

Colouring and decorating calagai in the Baskalsky centre. The ancient traditional craft has revived. I very much like a batic and I know.что once having started to be engaged in a batic, such feeling further is difficult to refuse this bewitching technics. That except the author in product creation are connected still |высшие the forces creating almost not man-made effects and patterns. And the fabric, silk or a clap, is as though animated by live energy of those people who participated in difficult process of creation of a matter, Therefore at me such quivering relation not only to the process of creativity, but also to perfect sheki to the silk created by work стольких of people. In Azerbaijan for a long time the batic was not only craft, but also highly artistic way’ creations of original creative compositions. The batic allows to experiment constantly.использовать the newest techniques, to achieve unexpected artly—graphic and picturesque effects. Therefore many known Azerbaijan artists prefer this method, combining purely is hot than drawing by wax or paraffin with other methods of a list of a fabric by means of a cold reserve, the central technics, etc. Among known Azerbaijan artists in the field of a batic it would be desirable to note Salara Mamedov's thin and lyrical compositions, expressional monumental batics Enver Karaeav, colourful east compositions Kamal Samedzade, mysterious, with refined shades “Simurgi” Innas Kostinoj, mysterious space imaginations Ilham Safarli, original stylised panels Oktan Murtazaev, lyrical compositions Нагаевой got by special female charm. From the ancient Times tone.выполненные in the technician a batic, enjoyed special love, the East people. And now leading Azerbaijan fashion designers. Such as Марьям Гаджибекова. Lejla Ahmed and Hadidja gachenzade use a batic in the exclusive models. The traditional batic since ancient times was painted by natural dyes. By the way them and now use in Baskal there was a wide range of aniline dyes. Successfully applied in a fabric list. Some of them do not demand special запарки, and are strongly fixed by проглаживания by a hot iron. The most accessible way of a list of a fabric—by means of cold reserving structure on the basis of rubber glue. Now in specialised shops the wide range of multi-coloured ready reserves in tubes suffices. To be led round by a reserve drawing on a fabric tense on a stretcher, in the form of the closed contour in which necessary colours settle down. Обводка a reserve should dry up in a current of 24 hours, then it is possible to paint a dry fabric with liquid dyes. The piece of a white matter tense on a frame also is necessary for batic creation a clap, silk, and т. With preliminary put contour of drawing. In a national Indonesian batic drawing put by hand a thin layer of the kindled wax by means of funnels—chanting different diameter. Then a fabric immerse in the tank with a paint. The parts of the drawing which has been not covered with wax are painted. In more difficult batic after drying laying more dark composite stains, and a fabric again plunges already into more dark solution. Then wax leaves. Modern artists all process of job, behind an exception crachelures.
Carry out on a stretcher, serially,layer behind a layer, утемняя the subsequent colour stains. At first with the fused paraffin or wax fill in those elements of a composition which should be the most light. And on a wet fabric lay the first light tone. Then allow fabrics to dry out and lay wax the following layer of  M so to the most dark. After all surface of a batic is covered by wax, a fabric remove from a stretcher, rumple, that there were cracks—net, and again pull on a stretcher. The solution of dark dye approaching on colour is rubbed on all surface of a batic, getting in wreckles.On the top the superfluous paint leaves a rag or cotton wool. After drying by means of a hot iron and newspapers all paraffin or wax from a fabric, a fabric water evapourating hot damp steam in absence of air leaves at the raised pressure if it is painted not by the special dyes fixed by an iron. The superfluous paint leaves by rinsing in cold water. The dried up batic is made out.
