Masculine Line

Yesterday was the second session of “membatik bersama The Pasongsongan” the small gathering we held on our Kampoeng Ramadhan Bazaar held at Jatim Expo Surabaya. It was quite diferent experience than the previous one, and you can see it on the illustrations : me most were male. And only one was pretty (lol). Not trying to emphasie on “this one’s not for male to do” kind-of-thing , but the courage to try different thing, and this different thing happened to be in the form of batiking.

Of course it was fun, as it was with girls a week before. And most of the participants said that was the first time they tried to put their finger of art of making batik.And accidents do happened. A lot.
(one of participant wore short pants and you might guess that he was screaming a lot when a hot wax was spilled out from his canting sprout).
All in all, we were trying to introduce the love of our cultural heritage, and have fun with it.

So, go batik!! And stay creative!!
