Join an immersive batik workshop in Yogyakarta, a city renowned as the center of Javanese art and heritage. Batik, recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, is a traditional Indonesian textile art created using a wax-resist dyeing technique.
During this workshop, you will be guided step-by-step by experienced local artisans who have preserved this craft for generations. You’ll learn about the philosophy behind classic batik motifs, how to use the canting (a traditional wax pen), and how to apply hot wax onto fabric to create intricate designs. After waxing, you will explore the dyeing process and see how vibrant colors emerge as the wax is removed.
This interactive experience is suitable for beginners, families, students, and art enthusiasts. All materials are provided, and at the end of the session, you’ll bring home your own handmade batik cloth as a special keepsake from Yogyakarta.
