ABSTRACT
It is an established fact that a well-equipped art studio avails the artist a conducive environment for maximum productivity and proficiency. The absence of a standard batik table in the textile studio of the Department of Fine & Applied Arts at the University of Benin hinders the effective waxing process, as the fabric requires proper stretching to prevent wax spillage and maintain the intended design. Additionally, inadequate spacing affects production speed. To address these challenges, the research aims to construct a specially adapted batik table that facilitates efficient and proficient batik design production. A comparative analysis of existing batik tables in other art studios and schools was conducted to identify the most suitable design concept for construction. It is hoped that this specially adapted batik table would facilitate the production process, eliminating inconveniences caused by the lack of a standard batik table. By providing students with this necessary infrastructure, this research aims to enhance the overall quality of batik designs and streamline the production workflow in the Department of Fine & Applied Arts at the University of Benin.
