We had a great day doing the art class and the cooking class. In the morning we went there with a grab, the location is easy to find and from the city center it takes you around 20min to get there. The art class is great, people are very friendly and helpful. First they explain the process and help you with tips, then you can practise and if you feel ready you can do your art. It is really fun and turns out well even if you aren‘t an artist. The cooking class was great. The guide asked us in before about the menu and respected our wishes. We created a tasty indonesian meal with noodles, fish and tempeh. Normally I do not like fish too much but this one was perfect. Freshly caught and marinated with local spices, no fishy taste. The guide and also some artists speak good english. They even did a video of us documenting the process of our own art. What a great souvenier together with your own piece of art.

Beautiful and insightful experience into the batik making process. The hosts are skilled artists themselves, and are patient and passionate throughout the session.

I learned not only the basics of batik, but the team was so encouraging and helped me come up with a fun design to work on, and I'm so proud of the result!

A very nice cooking workshop! Hanung was the perfect host. We caught 4 fresh fish and he showed us around in the village and told about the different plant, trees, herbs and vegetables that could be found in the (very cute) village. After that a very nice lady showed us how to prepare the fish and the noodles. After we ate, we had a nice coffee and bought some nice ceramics with batik prints. The whole place has that community feeling where everybody helps eachother.

We had a great time during the cooking course! Leksa Ganesh is situated only a 15-20 minute car ride away from the centre of Yogjakarta. Hanung took us for a walk around the village, told us a lot about the local herbs and took us fishing. Every step of preparing the meal was explained carefully in perfect English and the food was delicious. Overal a great experience that I would recommend to everyone that wants to experience the Javanese culture a bit more!

The kindness, the place, and above all the passion. We went by chance recommended by a local, and we were pleasantly surprised to find a beautiful place. They taught us everything about Batik, the procedure, the fabrics, the materials... We were also able to make one ourselves. They explain it to you with incredible dedication. Thanks for everything!
