learning how to make batik







batik

Batik is both an art and a craft, which is becoming more popular and well known in the West as a wonderfully creative medium. The art of decorating cloth in this way, using wax and dye, has been practised for centuries. In Java, Indonesia, batik is part of an ancient tradition, and some of the finest batik cloth in the world is still made there. 
Talking about Batik, I have learned before how to make it. before I explained about it, let me introduce my friend, his name August. i am sorry for August friend, I forget the name.  They came from Morocco. They spent 2 days in Lotus 2 homestay. When they have free time, they just enjoy the day in homestay. So, we invited to chat. At that time, we talked too much. we talked about the season in Indonesia, and we compared it with their country. 

after that, we told at that day we had a schedule to study how to make batik. after they heard about this, they were curious. well, we invited them to learn how to make batik together. 

there was something funny when we want to leave. One of them is afraid with motorcycle. I dont know why, So some of us we rode bicycle, included me. Imagine, from Lotus 2 homestay to Gejagan I had to ride bycycle. Tired? of course. But, Its OK. 


after we arrived in batik factory, we made a design. before that , make sure all the material are ready. the material and the equipments had been prepared by jack's friend. thankyou so much Mr. Jack.
at there we were learned how to make batik until the coloring process.
