Snowy English Bintaro Batik’s Day

It’s the second day of Snowy English Bintaro holiday program. In a rainy day, together with the students we all went to Rumah Citra Bintaro to make batik. As an Indonesian, Snowy English Bintaro wanted to introduce Batik as Indonesia’s traditional costume. So, the students would know the steps to make it and proud to use it. 

At Rumah Citra, we all gathered in the hall and was greeted by the Manager. He welcomed us and explained about the history of batik and the equipments to make it. Before we made batik, we have to follow the steps.

The children sat on benches to draw patterns on a piece of cloth. Rumah Citra already prepared some pictures that usually use in batik. They just copy the picture by pasting it through the cloth but they also allowed to draw by their own. Children and their companions were busy to finish this step.
