Aceh Batik Artisan

in #photocircle6 years ago (edited)

Natasya (20) is a speech impaired person, learning to make batik at Rumoh Batik Aceh, Meunasah Manyang, Aceh Besar, Thursday, October 4 2018.

Actually, batik is a native cultural art from Java, but Aceh also has batik with typical motifs. Batik is a masterpiece of Indonesian cultural expression.

Batik has a long history in Indonesia. Batik euphoria reached its climax when batik was verified by UNESCO as Indonesian Intangible Heritages in 2009.

Patience is the main thing for batik craftsmen

The fingers dip the canting into the waxy liquid which is dark brown

Then incised on a piece of cotton textile

It's me! :D

Love your photos @matajingga. They have a very nice, still portrait effect and each portrat and object stands out prominently. I love batiks but I have not seen an Aceh batik before. It is very intricately designed prints and so much details that goes into the pattern. Thank you @matajingga for sharing this.

thanks for your appreciation :)

Every crafts work require a lot of patience and in depth focus and this is no different. Never aware of it before but looking at the minute hand work and then coloring them with liquid shows the quality one should posses to have it. Not an easy work.
