Tetebatu: Batik Workshop with Local Artisan Village｜Indonesia

Begin your experience with an introduction to the history and meaning of batik within the local community while enjoying a welcome coconut drink. Learn about the tools, materials, and traditional techniques used in the process, as well as the significance of patterns and designs.

Next, use a traditional tool called a canting to create your own design on fabric. Carefully apply hot wax onto the cloth, forming patterns that will later define the final artwork.

After completing the wax drawing, apply a coloring technique. Learn how dyes are used to bring the design to life, creating contrast between waxed and colored sections.

Once the process is complete, allow around 1 hour for your batik design to dry. During this time, you will be guided on a walk through the village. Afterward, see your batik design take shape. This experience offers a creative and cultural connection through a handmade piece that reflects your time in the village.
