Batik is an ancient traditional technique of fabric pattern design using wax and various tools made of copper, brass, wood, brushes, and dyes.

During this workshop, you will experiment with creating spontaneous designs on pre-framed canvases. You’ll work with different oils such as fish oil, castor oil, cooking oil, and various textile dyes. You’ll take home your own framed artwork.

The workshops can be conducted in English, Dutch, Mandarin, and Indonesian.
