Mrs.Farah the coordinator of Sanggar Batik Kembang Mayang managed the presentation and guided the process which are also assisted by her team. According to Mrs.Farah, every step of Batik represents the stages of life. For example, drawing and pinching or is usually called as nyanting represents how the parents educate their children and seed them values of life.
