Yogyakarta – Batik
Visiting Yogyakarta, you may not just buy and enjoy the
marvelous batik artwork, but you have the opportunity to learn the technique of
its production. The valuable opportunity packed in an interesting tour package
with quite short duration and affordable cost will surely be fun. Batik
patterns you can learn involve hand-made batik, printed batik and painted
batik. Each place usually has its special batik pattern to teach.
For one day course, it is usually divided into two sessions,
you will learn all processes of batik making that generally consist of pattern
making, cloth coloring, wax dyingand drying. The process of pattern making
starts when all materials, especially the cloth are ready. The making of this
pattern is done with wax as the main material that is used to block color. If
you want to make hand-made batikm the pattern making isi done by using the wax
pen called canting while printed batik batik is made by utilizing a prepared
copper stamp with certaindesing. The process is continued by coloring the
cloth. The cloth with pattern on it is dipped into a bucket filled with
coloring agent. This process seems simple, but actually it is difficult,
moreover if batik must be colored more than two. Many batik artisans still use
natural colors made from certain natural materials, but there are many who use
synthetic coloring agents. After coloring thoroughly, the process is continued
by dying the wax, or removing the wax attaching to the cloth. Initially,
prepare the boiling water mixed with soda ash and fially the cloth is dipped to
remove the entire wax. If there is still wax attached, it must be cleaned after
the dying process.

inhabited. Those islands are very small so that it takes only less than 30
minutes to walk around each island. But they are in vibrant development as they
