I went to Batik Plentong one day after work, where you can see batik artists making batik at every step of the process.
I also went to a lurik factory, where Javanese fabric is woven by manual-operated wooden looms.
Here are some photos:

Neat! The woven fabric has such beautiful, intricate designs. It's cool to see how the bolts are made. Thanks for the pics.
