Description
Create your own batik in a traditional Javanese joglo in Yogyakarta. Explore a living gallery space with rotating exhibitions of local contemporary works.
Step into a hidden gem in central Yogyakarta—an authentic Javanese joglo where tradition, art, and community merge. This cultural space isn’t just a workshop venue; it’s a creative sanctuary. Wooden beams, carved details, and open-air architecture set the scene for a truly immersive afternoon.
Before or after your workshop, feel free to wander through the on-site art gallery—a self-guided experience that lets you explore rotating exhibitions of local contemporary works, paper art, textile design, and visual storytelling. It’s a peaceful space where the spirit of Yogyakarta’s artistic soul is always on display.
Then, in a 3-hour batik-making session, dive into the rich tradition of wax-resist dyeing, guided by experienced artisans. Choose your pattern, trace it with hot wax using a traditional canting, and add vibrant color. Leave with a personal creation and a deeper understanding of this centuries-old art form.
This isn’t just a class—it’s a meeting point between heritage and modern expression, set in one of Yogyakarta’s most atmospheric spaces.
