The West
Java Batik Foundation (YBJB) will establish a Batik Academy to develop and
train young professional Batik makers.
“The West
Java Batik Academy will train batik professionals to master batik skills and be
ready to work in the batik industry,” the foundation’s executive director
Komaruddin Hudiya said on Tuesday as quoted by Antara news agency.
The academy
is scheduled to be established in 2012 with a capacity of more than 100
graduates per class. Every class will learn batik for three months and develop
their own businesses.
“The batik
market is still promising right now, even though the booming started in 2009.
We are trying to maintain the market’s gusto for batik products by developing
batik motifs from various regencies,” Komaruddin said.
He added
that there had been 200 batik motifs in West Java that had been published in a
batik motifs pocket book.
