My experience making Batik

Yonghwan Choi

For me, It was my first time Batik in Indonesia and I was really excited to heard that I’m going to make it myself. The owner gave me white cloth and sample of flower picture, and I drew it flower on the white cloth with my pencil. The tool which is used to dye the cloth was difficult to use for me, so I was really surprised that traditional batik manufacturer’s sophisticated pattern in batik. During making batik, I felt that it really needs skills for many years and It was really good experience. After making it, I just wanted to show it to my family and friends in Korea.
