"I am willing to teach anyone, as long as they want to learn, are patient and persistent to learn this craft." Another type of batik is batik terap or batik tjap , where a block with intricate designs is dipped into wax and then stamped onto fabric. The block – often made from strips of copper, zinc or tin – can weigh about a kilogram.Sometimes, different blocks are used to stamp patterns on one piece of cloth – the kepala kain , kapit kain and badan kain often have different patterns.He picked up the art of making batik blocks from a batik maker in Kelantan in the 1970s when he was just 15 years old.
It takes a highly skilled craftsman to create the intricate designs that go on the blocks. After all, the quality and beauty of a piece of batik is largely dependent on the quality of the batik blocks used. It is very important, Md Ghani says, to be precise in making the blocks. "Copper is an excellent conductor of heat. It absorbs heat quickly and retains it for a long period of time. Using copper moulds is also more effective in batik stamping because the heat spreads evenly over the block after it is dipped into the hot wax used to stamp the design on the cloth. Plus, copper is durable, and easier to repair should the moulds get damaged," said Md Ghani.
"The most challenging part is making the motifs and fitting them into the block. The motifs have to be identical to ensure the pattern is symmetrical. It requires creativity but also precision and skill to make these batik blocks," he says.
