Top Things to Do in Yogyakarta

We have had an amazing and unforgettable experience at Leksa Ganesha. We could take as much time as we needed for our creative process and there was room for all your own creativity. When hesitant, the staff was happy to help with brainstorming ideas. We worked with different techniques and styles and are truly very happy with the workshop and the results of our own batik! 10/10 would recommend!

We had such a great day doing the batik workshop here and was surprised about how many other workshops you could do at the location. Highly recommend for an authentic activity.

Leksa Ganesha supports a local artist cooperative, providing them a platform and income while preserving batik art traditions.

Leksa Ganesha is a warm, welcoming artist collective tucked away in the peaceful village of Tembi, just outside Yogyakarta. Founded by Tatang Elmy Wibowo and Aprat Koeswadji, it sits beside Tatang’s family home – a place where his father once created batik before tending to the rice fields. The gallery brings together a talented group of local batik artists, offering them a space to share their work and stay connected to their craft. More than just a gallery, Leksa Ganesha is part of a resilient village rebuilt after the 2016 earthquake, where every visit helps support both the artists and the wider community. It’s a genuine, down-to-earth place rooted in tradition and local pride.
