![At the museum no photos are allowed which is really unfortunate as it was well worth the visit and the guided tour is definitely not to be missed. In the museum there are even Batik made from the Dutch era which depicts stories like Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White!
I enjoyed the tour v much and at the end of the tour we were brought to this room where the artisan were working on hand drawn batik.
Below is an excerpt from Wikipedia for anyone interested in learning more about the process of batik making.
Firstly, a cloth is washed, soaked and beaten with a large mallet. Patterns are drawn with pencil and later redrawn using hot wax, usually made from a mixture of paraffin or bees wax, sometimes mixed with plant resins, which functions as a dye-resist. The wax can be applied with a variety of tools. A pen-like instrument called a canting (IPA: [tʃantiŋ], sometimes spelled with old Dutch orthography tjanting) is the most common. A canting is made from a small copper reservoir with a spout on a wooden handle. The reservoir holds the resist which flows through the spout, creating dots and lines as it moves. For larger patterns, a stiff brush may be used. Alternatively, a copper block stamp called a cap (IPA: [tʃap]; old spelling tjap) is used to cover large areas more efficiently.
After the cloth is dry, the resist is removed by scraping or boiling the cloth. The areas treated with resist keep their original color; when the resist is removed the contrast between the dyed and undyed areas forms the pattern. This process is repeated as many times as the number of colors desired.
The most traditional type of batik, called batik tulis (written batik), is drawn using only the canting. The cloth need to be drawn on both sides and dipped in a dye bath three to four times. The whole process may take up to a year; it yields considerably finer patterns than stamped batik.

“慣れている人にとってはとても安価で良い滞在先になります。私はこの値段でこの設備なら大満足です。洗濯は翌日仕上げ3キロで300円、ホットシャワー、エアコン付きでこの値段は嬉しいです。共同の冷蔵庫もあり部屋にはテレビもあります。が、湯沸かしポットやカップ、石鹸などのアメニティは皆無です。ちょっと色がくすんだタオルがあるのみです。お湯も時々止まったりします。
そういうのがツライ人はお金を払ってもっと高級なホテルに泊まりましょう。”

“Great value lodging with hospitable staff. Check-in and check-out process was good. The only thing that was disappointing was the appearance of one of the duvets in the room. There were lots of stain marks. I asked for one of the staff for a new duvet in the morning, but when I got back into my room in the evening the same duvet was put on my bed instead of being replaced.”
