Was fully immersive experience that was the first time for me, really incredible to do hands on batik art with both guidance and structure! Although there is 3 hours allocated you can stay longer for more layers of coloring or detailed design!

I did the ecoprint workshop with Ibu Pegi.
 It was really great!
 She explained what we were going to do and after that we looked for leaves and she also told me what colour they would become.
 After that the real work started.
 That was really nice to do.
 Ibu Pegi explained that whole proces and the girl made a lot of beautiful pictures and video's.
 I really enjoyed this, everybody was so nice and will do it again when I am in Yogya.
 I can highly recommend this workshop.🥰

A Day of Batik & Culinary Magic in a Local Village

The batik and cooking classes at Leksa Ganesha are fabulous! Pak Hanung provided the experience of a lifetime. He was patient in showing us how to use the batik tools (canting) and helpful throughout the creative process. We thoroughly enjoyed walking through the village to learn about the community and how they work together. Ibu Tiru helped us fix a delicious meal and Pak Hanung sent the recipes to us in a follow-up message. Please do not hesitate to book this experience! It will be a highlight of your trip to Yogyakarta. The price is excellent for the services rendered. We tried a similar experience in Jakarta that cost twice as much and provided much, much less.

It was a fascinating day. It began with the batik workshop. I found that I was the only person doing batik that morning and that made it even better, I think, because several of the people working inside the workshop came to offer suggestions and advice on technique and to reassure me about my lack of artistry - that everything was possible in art - even what I was doing! They were all lovely. Then the cooking group from the morning shared their lunch with me (delicious) before I was taken on a tour of the village where we caught some fish that we brought back and cooked in my cooking class. Thanks to everyone- you were all marvellous and your work is fascinating. The batiks that I created were not as terrible as I thought ( thanks to a lot of help) and I bought one from the gallery that I think is truly wonderful.

There’s more than Batik here! I did an eco-print workshop and it was a really great way to spend my morning. The women show you different processes with leaves and flowers and then you create. There are different ways to create the prints so be sure to ask. I found the direct ‘hammer’ approach to be my favourite. Experiment and have fun! I would happily return for another workshop
