Overview

Batik is a traditional art form in Indonesia, and the word batik is thought to be derived from the word ‘ambatik’ which translated means ‘a cloth with little dots’. The suffix ‘tik’ means little dot, drop, point or to make dots. It is a technique of wax-resist dyeing applied fabric. Batik is made either by drawing dots and lines of the resist with a spouted tool called a canting, or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap. The applied wax resists dyes and therefore allows the artisan to colour selectively by soaking the cloth in one colour, removing the wax with boiling water, and repeating if multiple colours are desired
Now the technique of batik can be found not only on fabric but also on wooden handicrafts and other media. If you love the intricacy and history of Batik, then you should try your hand at learning the process.
There you will learn how to draw Batik pattern, using the canting (bamboo scoop used for applying wax in cloth), and coloring the Batik.

This was an experience of a lifetime that I’ll never forget. I’m a textile enthusiast and going to this museum is such a treat! My tour guide, Mr. Fiky, is superb! He spoke excellent English and translated everything for me. It was fun talking to him about the fabric, techniques, and history. The driver, Mr. Ogi took pictures and videos of my batik experience and made an awesome video for me to share on my instagram account. For lunch there was a miss communication about my dietary restrictions and Mr.Fiky fixed that for me. He found a place that made a delicious vegan meal. I still dream about that meal!! Afterwards my guide took me to the cathedral church, mosque, and other national landmark. We talked about the architecture and historical figures that shaped the landscape. I’ll never forget this experience and thank y’all so much for taking care of me!!!
