Highlights
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.

About Jakarta
Jakarta is Indonesia's largest city, on the north coast of Java, with old Dutch Batavia, tall towers, mosques, markets and endless street food.

Nearby, the harbour of Sunda Kelapa has wooden schooners moored at the quay. The National Monument, topped with a gilded flame, stands in Merdeka Square in the centre.
