Batik is one of the wealth of the Indonesian people as an invaluable cultural heritage. Indonesian batik has been known to foreign countries and become a superior export product. Every region in Indonesia has batik products with their own peculiarities. Efforts to overcome the boredom of batik products are done through the development of motifs, techniques, and textile used. One of the developments of batik products is through exploration of the use of soil as natural dyes of batik. This exploration is a research activity carried out by researchers and teams for 3 years. The result obtained is the discovery of soil as a batik dye which is explored with a variety of techniques named by researchers with soil batik. Thank God, the authors say to Allah SWT who has given grace, strength and health until this work can be realized. The authors thank the Surabaya State University as the academic community and Kemenristekdikti (Ministry of higher education research and technology) through Surabaya State University who have funded this research for 3 years and the researchers have succeeded in producing works in the form of: soil batik products, copyright in the form of motif designs as many as 10 copyrights, patents and 2 works that are in the process of being granted, as well as the publication of scientific papers at indexed national and international seminars.
