The Bondowoso Regency has great potential to evolve into a center for the batik creative
industry. However, there are still no batik products that demonstrate the uniqueness of the
Bondowoso Regency. Several community groups in Suling Wetan Village, Cermee Subdistrict,
Bondowoso Regency, have been running batik businesses as artisans since 2015. The
community groups have had the basic skills to produce batik; unfortunately, they still do not
give any impact to the growth of the cultural tourism destinations in Bondowoso. The old batik
designs do not attract buyers, have limited color combinations, and only rely on synthetic batik
dyes. Through the partnership service program that has been implemented, some of the batik
community businesses can develop their products. This partnership service program is done by
several activities, such as: socialization; workshops on batik design and the use of natural dyes;
training on natural materials and batik coloring; procurement of gawangan1
, pendulum2
and
accessories; training and mentoring techniques for making interesting batik motifs and coloring
using natural dyes; and the dialogue to develop the creative batik industry. The results of this
program are to develop not only the Suling Wetan Village but also make the batik community
business in Cermee Subdistrict, independently grow as a creative batik industry. These
improvements also captivate the cultural tourism in Bondowoso Regency.
