Perfect for beginners and creative explorers alike, this workshop invites you to experiment with color, pattern, and texture while learning a craft rooted in centuries of tradition.
Workshop Experience
Introduction to Batik
Step into the world of batik and explore its rich cultural heritage, from its origins in Java to its global artistic influence today. Learn how this time-honored technique uses wax and dye to create beautiful, story-rich patterns that are both traditional and deeply personal.
Techniques and Materials
Get hands-on with tools like tjanting pens, brushes, and stamps as you master the basics of waxing on fabric. Experiment with color blending and dye layering to bring your design to life, then learn the wax removal process to reveal your intricate creation beneath.

We did two workshops with Gigi during our stay in Bangkok and had the best time. We visit Bangkok once a year and this was our first time doing something like this. We did the batik and eco printing workshops; Gigi is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and is also super creative. An experience to recommend for anyone keen to get hands on and do something creative, we’re already looking forward to next year!
