Clay resist dyeing is a traditional textile technique where a paste is applied to fabric to prevent areas from absorbing dye. When the fabric is immersed in an indigo vat, the protected areas remain lighter, revealing beautiful patterns once the resist is removed. Unlike wax resist batik, clay resist creates a softer, more organic style of patterning, making it perfect for experimental textile artists and natural dye enthusiasts.
