Batik Making Class

Batik is Indonesian National Costume, originally made by Javanese people that has been
recognized by Unesco as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity since. Batik
tradition is predicted has been already found in Indonesian Archipelago especially in Java Island
since more than 1000 years ago.

Batik has so many patterns, each pattern has different philosophies stories. And every region in
Java Island has their own pattern with their own history. In the old kingdom era, only King, Royal
Families and other important people are allowed to wear Batik. But right now, it is normal for
common people to wear Batik, we use it in a formal or special occasion, it is our way to conserve
this Javanese Heritage.

What will you do in Batik Making Experience is to draw the pattern in a fabric using hot wax
followed by colouring process. This kind of activity will train you to be more patience and will give
you a relaxation effect. Because you need to do it carefully, little by little. The professional batik
maker will not make any single mistake. And to make a single Batik Fabric with 2 meters length
can take around 1 to 6 months, it depends on the difficulty of the pattern. That is way, the original
Batik Fabric can be very expensive, especially if they do the coloring using natural color.

You can do this activity or experience in the city centre of Yogyakarta or near by Borobudur Temple).

However, Tinton was such a great guide and a great person that I wanted to write… read more this about him.

Tinton is a storyteller.  Not only is he knowledgeable about Yogyakarta and Indonesia as a whole, but he is passionate about history.  We talked at length on my trip about the origin of coffee as well as the histories of some words and languages.  We had good conversation through the day and he was exceptionally patient with me.  Thanks to him I learned more about Indonesia as a whole from it’s time as a Dutch colony to how it is now. 

From the morning, he picked me up from the hostel I was staying in and immediately we began our travels to the tour sites.  I also got to know him a bit more personally as I was the only one who booked for that particular tour day.   Turns out, Tinton himself is a traveler and has seen chunks of the world on a budget.  He is passionate about seeing the world and meeting people but also about Indonesian culture.  If you want someone who really loves his culture – he’s the guide for you.  

He also went above and beyond for me by showing me things that I requested to see.  Thanks to him I was able to try some great kopi luwak (luwak coffee) as well as meet a family of artists who did Indonesian batik for a living and had works of art in their own home that they produced.  

Tinton is an honest, down to earth, good human being who just so happens to give the utmost professionalism when it comes to giving visitors to Yogyakarta a great learning experience.  

At the end of the day, Tinton also went above and beyond for me and dropped me off at the airport.  Not only had I met a great guide, but I had met a friend I could come visit when I come back to Indonesia. 

Thanks to Tinton, I was able to see a side of Indonesia that I would not have otherwise seen.  I can gladly say that I love Indonesia and was so fortunate to have met Tinton and the people I met through him.  To me that is a one of a kind experience, and I’m glad I scrolled down a bit further from the first results for tours of this area and booked with him.

If you’re a person who is seeking to learn more about Indonesian culture, its people, and its history, I say that Tinton is the proper guide for you.
