Batik maker makes his mark with ecoprint


All natural: Khairizal helping his wife, Tuan Najdah Tuan Muhammad Adnan, arrange leaves on a cloth that will then be rolled and tied up before being steamed for two hours.

PENDANG: A batik maker from Kampung Padang Durian here is using a new technique called ecoprint which is more environmentally-friendly.

Khairizal Ishak, who has been making batik since 2012, said the technique involved using plant material such as leaves, bark and roots rather than chemical ingredients.
