![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: [tÊantiĆ], 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: [tÊap]; 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.

âDas Edelweiss hat mich wirklich ĂŒberrascht.
Die Beschreibung war nicht so ausfĂŒhrlich, sodass ich ein bisschen skeptisch war.
Das Hotel ist eine kleine Bungalowanlage. Jeder Gast hat sein eigenes kleines GrundstĂŒck mit Haus, Badezimmer, Terrasse und Tauchbecken. Das Badezimmer ist Indonesisch - das Waschbecken im Freiem.
Man wird mit einem kleinem Golfcar zu den Zimmern gebracht.
Das FrĂŒhstĂŒck wird ins Haus gebracht. Meist kommt ein drei GĂ€nge MenĂŒ mit Suppe, Reis und HĂ€hnchen, Toast ...

âOur deluxe room was OK, clean and bright although some black spots on the walls could be seen. Also horrible noise that disturbed us was loud music from the bar of the Novotel Hotel which started from 10.00 pm to 2 am every night. We informed the Ibis staffs about the noise, but no changes.â

âThe room was big but worn out, but OK for someone who is just staying there only to sleep. The service is at the hotel or professional, also the breakfast was fantastic The pool was just amazing however it was close to the restaurant and we felt like we are being watched all the time especially because we were wearing bikinis.
The staff at a Ramada was very helpful in all our wishes, however the receptionists could speak better English.
We would stay here again.â

âAlles in allem war ich sehr zufrieden mit der Wahl. Es ist aber ein FĂŒnf-Stern-Hotel, das ĂŒberwiegend von asiatischen Touristen & GĂ€sten gebucht wird. Das merkte man am FrĂŒhstĂŒcksbuffet. Das Interieur erinnert immer noch stark an die 70er Jahre.â
