Batik Workshop in Jakarta Textile Museum
29 July 2010


Our pose behind beutiful NTT traditional cloths that are being exhibited inside the museum		Lecturers, Ms. Shirley and Ms. Dina are posing in front of the traditional NTT accessories

Entering Batik Workshop Centre		Choosing the right pattern to copy

Using the light box to trace the pattern onto the cloth		The most challenging yet important process of 'batiking', painting the wax onto the pattern-traced cloth

Some students are really into this patience-required process		Done with the painting, the wax must be wash-off by dipping the cloth in the hot boiling water

After the cloths colored, they must be cleansed over		Students are enthusiastic to watch the whole process of batik coloring

Wind-drying the cloths		Showing off our masterpieces

Behind the giant 'chanting' (a pen-like tool for painting the wax onto cloth)		Posing in front of the museum's classical pillars while waiting for the ride
