Iolana started this workshop in 2024 to share the beauty of a traditional artisanal technique with others. With a hands-on approach, she guides participants through the process, from handling the tjanting for waxing to basic dye painting. It’s not just about creating batik—it’s about self-expression, discovery, and even a bit of self-healing. Beyond the workshop, Iolana collaborates with artisans in Indonesia, helping to support their craft and livelihood. Her thoughtful approach and genuine connection to the art make the experience both meaningful and memorable.
