CAP MASTERY - PRECISE UNIQUE MOTIFS

Our artisans are the heart of Quarzia, bringing each contemporary design to life with their masterful batik skills—an art form deeply rooted in Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage.

Each repeating motif begins with a Cap (Tjap), a unique hand-carved copper stamp that carries its own history and character.

 Dipped in hot wax and pressed onto silk with masterful precision, the Cap imprints the designs with just enough pressure for the wax to seep through the fabric. As with all batik techniques, the wax resists the dye as the layers of colour are applied by hand.

 Guided entirely by the human hand, this precise yet intuitive process infuses every piece with subtle individuality, transforming timeless batik technique into contemporary silk designs.
