Yogyakarta Moderne Batik Værksted og Naturlig Farvning

This Batik workshop was one of our favourite experiences in Jogja! We met Belinda and her mum at their cosy studio, a calming sanctuary surrounded by plants. They were incredibly patient, guiding us through every step and explaining how the techniques translate to commercial production. Belinda spoke excellent English and was so friendly. She encouraged us to create our own designs and even gave us tips to make them even prettier. We upgraded from the 2-hour to the 3-hour package so we could get our pieces dyed, and we were so glad we did! It gave us a real appreciation for the time and effort that goes into dyeing. Belinda and her mum were generous with their time and knowledge, and made us feel at home. Our finished pieces turned out far prettier than we imagined, thanks to their guidance. All in all, it was such a lovely afternoon and definitely an experience we will remember fondly! We left with such full hearts and, as a bonus, pretty souvenirs that we handcrafted ourselves. 💕

At møde Belinda og Bu Herina er en fantastisk oplevelse, da de forklarer og lærer dig om processen med at lave batik i detaljer. Hele oplevelsen er så sjov, og alle burde prøve det.

Det var dejligt, at I var med os under hele oplevelsen og tog jer så godt af os. Det foregår i et privat hjem, og de sørger for, at man kan gøre det i ro og mag uden tidsbegrænsning og helt sikkert. Stedet, hvor man farver, er som en lille have. De dyrker forskellige planter overalt i huset, så man kunne se mange blomster og blade. De introducerede os også til de planter, der bruges til naturlige farvestoffer, og de dyrker dem selv. Dette var min anden batikoplevelse, og det var godt at lære, at batikmønstre og -værktøjer er forskellige fra region til region.

En helt særlig oplevelse! Jeg tilbragte den dejligste eftermiddag med Belinda og hendes mor. Vejledningen til at finde huset var klar, og oplevelsen med at lave batik var rolig og næsten meditativ. For planteelskere er haven ved huset virkelig fantastisk, og jeg nød at se på alle planterne under tørrepauserne. Jeg er slet ikke kunstnerisk anlagt, men Belindas klare og tålmodige instruktioner betød, at mit færdige produkt blev meget bedre end forventet. Som en bonus er hun en fremragende fotograf, og hun sender dig billeder i høj kvalitet af din oplevelse dagen efter. Så glad for, at jeg gjorde dette!

Belinda og hendes familie var meget elskværdige. Hun forklarede Batik-maleprocessen, og hvor lang tid det tager. Det får dig til at værdsætte de traditionelle kunstformer og retfærdiggør bestemt, hvorfor det er værd at betale for traditionelle kunstværker. Deres tid og anstrengelse er værdifuld. Jeg håber, at den, der læser dette fra udlandet eller inden for landet, forstår, hvorfor det er vigtigt at støtte lokale og traditionelle kunstformer. Nogle af disse kan tage en uge at lave!

Dette var den bedste oplevelse på vores Java-tur. Fantastisk tid med familien. Voksdelen var slet ikke nem, men alle klarede det på en eller anden måde, og resultatet er meget personligt. Du bør booke den fulde oplevelse for at få et færdigt lærred med farve og fjernet voks. Og lad være med at have hvidt tøj på 😉.

It was my first time trying to do batik and it was def a fun experience! Luckily I was the only student at the time slot and I could fully enjoy the class, thanks to Belinda and her mother with all the detailed instructions and dedicated attention to every step I was working on my first batik! The workshop, which is also a domestic household, is beautifully decorated and creates a very comfortable and local ambience for the class. Yogyakarta is not to be missed and neither should this batik workshop - if you are planning to visit Yogyakarta, do mark this workshop in your itinerary and I'm sure you will love it!

We booked the full batik experience one day in advance. Arrived in the morning, we were immediately charmed by the beautiful courtyard. Belinda gave us a detailed introduction to batik, including its different styles, materials, and the making process. We could choose traditional patterns, either simple or intricate, or create our own designs, like the Usagi character my friend chose. Belinda and Felisa kindly guided us throughout the whole experience. When I accidentally got some hot wax on my hand, Felisa patiently helped me apply some ointment. Belinda knew different languages to communicate with guests from around the world. A wonderful and memorable experience, and a lovely way to discover Yogyakarta’s culture.

Nous avons fait l’atelier Abhati Batik à Yogyakarta et c’était une superbe expérience !! Nous avons passé un moment des plus agréable en compagnie de l’équipe. l’accueil a été chaleureux et elles ont pris le temps de bien tout nous expliquer pour nous guider pas à pas vers un excellent résultat. c’est une activité que je vous recommande les yeux fermés à tous ceux qui passe par ici !!

It was a truly remarkable experience for someone like me who loves the arts. The whole process requires patience and it was truly relaxing to immerse yourself in creating the batik patterns. Belinda was a kind instructor and she made sure that everything goes well. I recommend this for those who want to learn about the local art 👍
