Batik Making Class in Ubud

they didnt know about my booking. had to wait 30min for the teacher to arrive and he spoke minimal english. the beeswax is hot and runny so you need to have good control with the brush, the coloured ink bleeds strong and colors are limited - they mixed orange for me and it was really bright pigment that overpowered the green and blues. you wont see the final colors until its dried completely which will take a few hours depending on the weather. it was a good introductory experience. i would like to try again but will pick a different studio.

I was the only student there with a friendly teacher who taught me how to create my own piece. The view is gorgeous there too. You can overlook the lush green rice field too.

Good batik making experience. Fun and interesting process especially seeing the end project. Venue is quite warm. Will be good if they can install some ceiling fans.

The location is quite secluded, perfect for a peaceful experience. The instructor was patient in their explanations! The session was a bit long; it would be even better if we could choose the fabric size for the design! There are good and affordable meal options here! The only drawback is the lack of air conditioning.

The surroundings are so quiet and nice! It's a traditional method, so it's harder than I thought to draw lines with melted wax. It was a pity that there were not many colors to choose from, but it was fun. It was a very satisfying experience.

It was quite interesting, but it took much longer than expected, about 4 hours. However, the instructor was very patient, and there's also a restaurant next door where you can order food and enjoy it during breaks (while waiting for the wax dye to dry). It was delicious and affordable.

One of the most fulfilling cultural art experiences I’ve ever had where you not only get to create your own artistic expression but learn the history of batik with such an amazing instructor. He not only walks you through the steps of the process, demonstrating the art form, but he also will assist you creating your own masterpiece given his love and expertise in batik making.

Great experience, we were supposed to do batik making but the teacher was sick so we did wood carving instead but we enjoyed it a lot!

The first step is to melt the wax. After melting, use a tool to draw lines on the fabric (it is not easy for beginners to control the force, so it is recommended to refer to online pictures before drawing). After drawing, dye the fabric. If the wax lines are drawn well, the paint will not blur (it is recommended to paint the entire piece of fabric with color, because the next step is to remove the wax, and after the wax is removed, the lines will show the white color of the fabric). After dyeing, put the fabric into hot water to melt the wax. Also, please note that the experience location is some distance away from Ubud city center.

I took my 5-year old daughter and the teacher was quite helpful assisting her with the wax step. we had a great time and are happy with our artwork. THe only downside was that too many people were registered and only one teacher.
