Learn batik wax-resist techniques in Yogyakarta’s Batik Seno Gallery. Make a unique design, learn pattern meaning, and take it home.

“This was incredible! I would go back again and again. Everyone was super friendly and helpful and they guided me perfectly through how to make batik properly. They were encouraging and even gave advice on how to add extra design / what to do to fix a mistake. I only had a small session (2hr) but it flew by and they were definitely in no rush to get me gone. The colours they have are vibrant & i picked mine based off a recommendation for the type of batik i had made. I’d go back again and again and would definitely encourage everyone to try it at least once.”
