But the intervention of central government is still expected to realize the dream, and the traditional North Sumatra batik industry will grow and thrive.
The local government of Tebing Tinggi City, North Sumatra through the Local Ministry of Industry and Trade had called batik craftsmen from Medan to train 25 young women residents of Tebing Tinggi to acquire the skills and knowledge of producing typical Lemang batik design.
The local government of Tebing Tinggi City, North Sumatra through the Local Ministry of Industry and Trade had called batik craftsmen from Medan to train 25 young women residents of Tebing Tinggi to acquire the skills and knowledge of producing typical Lemang batik design.
The Head of Industrial sector, Local Ministry of Industry and Trade of Tebing Tinggi, Khadidjah, accompanied by Prof. Efi Amroini Amroini Dradjat as instructors in Batik Tebing Tinggi Training Center stated that they’re ready to promote Tebing Tinggi to become Batik City. It seems this dream is not excessive since this region owns so many ornaments, patterns, and motives that could be economically developed.
Not only those mentioned above, through Typical Tebing Tinggi batik, the national cultural assets scattered in many regions can be introduced through batik. The trend of batik clothing becomes a new business opportunity for fashionista in the country. The typical Indonesian culture is highly favored even for foreign countries so that the availability of batik craftman leads a number of Districts/Cities conduct the batik training in order to produce its own typical batik motif.
Khadidjah added, their actions to speed up in realizing their dreams often face the problem of limited facilities. ‘’We still borrow the tables for student’s training activities,’’ explained Khadidjah. In addition, to support all training activities, they still have to bring in the equipments and raw materials for batik from Java such as stoves, pots, centingan, dyes, wax, and fabric.
The fabric purchased from Java in fact is much cheaper than from Medan. For example, the fabric purchased from Pekalongan is only Rp 20,000 per meter, much cheaper than from Medan which costs about Rp 80,000 per meter. Therefore to minimize the increasing costs, they really expect the central government supports, both budgets and other facilities. The cultural-based industries, in addition to lift the North Sumatra reputation, can potentially produce new entrepreneurs who also contribute to strengthen both the local economic position and the national economy in general.
The abstract motif nuanced produced by the talented young women is depicted over cotton fabric cotton with a large flower motif while showing a parrot, the struggle monument of December 13, bamboo trees as one of the main icons of the Lemang city, By depicting the characteristic of the regions, it is expected that the presence of its own batik will be accepted by local community and at the same time it will be able to attract local consumers to have it. It is highly possible that Tebing Tinggi traditional batik will also enrich the Indonesian batik culture and foreign tourists are expected to be interested in wearing batik Tebing Tinggi as well.
This step is one of efforts to secure government program on One Village One Product (OVOP).
‘’ This is one of the near future main product of Tebing Tinggi,’’ explained Khadidjah. Handmade batik made in Tebing Tinggi is expected not to replicate other region’s patterns so that needs to be patented soon.
