Step into the colorful world of Sri Lankan batik with Shermila Batiks, a family-run workshop founded in 1991. From humble beginnings, this workshop has grown into a vibrant hub of creativity, culture, and craftsmanship—now carried forward by the second generation to preserve this timeless art.
Located in Koggala, just a short drive from Galle, the factory and gallery invite you to explore the artistry behind batik. Browse authentic, handcrafted clothing, accessories, and home décor, each piece reflecting Sri Lanka’s rich traditions, intricate patterns, and natural dyes.
Begin with a guided factory tour, where you’ll watch skilled artisans transform plain fabric into vibrant works of art using the centuries-old wax-resist dyeing technique. See the step-by-step process of drawing, waxing, dyeing, and boiling—an artistic journey that brings fabric to life.
After the tour, it’s your turn. Join a hands-on workshop and create your own batik masterpiece. Guided by experienced artisans, you’ll design, wax, and dye your own fabric. Whether you’re a beginner or an art enthusiast, you’ll leave with both a unique handcrafted souvenir and an unforgettable cultural memory.
