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

We attended the cooking class and it has been the highlight of our trip so far! Our host, Hanung, gave us a tour of the beautiful Tembi village, before cooking. We cooked with locally sourced ingredients, got to catch our own fish to cook, and enjoyed a beautiful meal at the end. I would highly recommend this experience, you get to experience the local Java lifestyle!

I was given clear instructions on how to do the batik and someone was available to help if needed. I had plenty time to work, it was so much fun! I had a nice coffee in the cafe while I waited for the batik to dry, and the art shop with batik for sale was fabulous, everyone was very kind and friendly, I highly recommend this business and activity

Awesome time, this was both my friend and my favourite day in Jogja. It was interesting to learn about batik painting and having a go at it. The locals were very chill as well, though we booked the 9am to 3pm one with cooking, we only left at 6pm as they allowed us to take our time to complete our batik. They are really such friendly people and it was nice to get to know them, their village and way of life.
