Mr Nik ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธis conductingย workshop (advance booking is required) of ๐pax maximum with total fee of RM700, i.e. RM70/ pax, all materials ๐จ๐will be provided ๐
Through the meet up & chit chat ๐ฃ๐ฅ with Mr Nik ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ, she was impressed ๐คฉ with his passionate โค๏ธ towards batik art
He ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ has shared that he doesn’t โ chase upon the money ๐ฐ making from his art passion โค๏ธ, instead he ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธwanna ensure his art satisfaction ๐๐ป towards the batik art quality received by his customers ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ
The raw materials play an important role in his quality control ๐๐ป especially the ratio to mixing the resist โ wax, as well as the heat temperature โจ๏ธ
Not just that, there is a detailed patience & being skillful of holding the cap right, applying the hot โจ๏ธ mixed wax to the cap & then hand ๐ค๐ป printing the waxโresin resist to the cloth
He ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ further shared that he is into not too complex batik art design, then how he can make the batik art design lively on fabrics or clothing ๐๐
How he does thatโโ๏ธ

He ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ further added that while he ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธcreates a batik design/ produce his batik products, he always wanna the public who viewed ๐ his batik products will ponder this questionโโ๏ธ in mind ๐ญ
“This is batik, very nice design, where to get itโโ๏ธ“

Hmm…Not just that the manual colour locking process also time consuming as at least 6๏ธโฃ times & more of interchanging ๐ the soaking of the printed batik cloth in clear water ๐ฆ๐ง He is particular in ensuring ๐ฏ% colour locked, to provide hassle free ๐ batik clothes washing ๐ฆ๐ง for all his customers

Personally, she ๐ฉ๐ป feels that his customised miniature & diorama art from RM500 & above is a superb reasonable pricing ๐๐ป๐ฐas lots of detailed efforts required in each step of his handmaking process to complete 1๏ธโฃ piece of miniature diorama
Mr Shaiful ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ is using recycled โป๏ธ items to build his miniatureย A great go-green ๐ effort, perhaps this helps to lowering โฌ๏ธ the raw materials cost of making each miniature artworks, however his brain ๐ง power & energy ๐ง๐ช๐ป used to complete each piece of miniature art definitely entitled him a higher โฌ๏ธ value
