Yogyakarta Samtids Batik Verksted og Naturlig Farging

Det var fint at de var med oss hele tiden under opplevelsen og tok så godt vare på oss. Det foregår i et hjem, og de sørger for at du kan gjøre det trygt og uten tidsbegrensninger. Rommet der fargingen foregår, er som en liten hage. De dyrker forskjellige planter rundt om i huset, så vi fikk se mange blomster og blader. De introduserte oss også for plantene som brukes til naturlige fargestoffer, og de dyrker dem selv. Dette var min andre batikkopplevelse, og det var interessant å lære at batikkmønstrene og verktøyene varierer fra region til region.

Amazing batik workshop! It was the highlight of my trip in Jogja, Belinda and her mum are very sweet and guide you through the process all along. It was interesting and insightful, and lots of fun to learn about the Batik Art, more difficult than it seems haha but Belinda helped me through it. Great authentic experience and super happy to have a Batik souvenir to remember this day by ☺️100% recommend

Meeting Belinda and Bu Herina is such great experience as they’re explain and teach you on the process of making batik in details. The whole experience is so fun and everyone should try.

Belinda and her family was very gracious. She explained the Batik painting process and how long it takes. Makes you appreciate the traditional art forms and definitely justifies why it’s worth paying for traditional art pieces. Their time and effort is valuable. I hope whoever reads this from foreign or within the country understands why it’s important to support local and traditional art forms. Some of these can take a week to make!

I had an amazing experience with Belinda and her mum. They were so kind. patient and very helpful and they made the whole experience super enjoyable. What i loved most was that we did it at their backyard and the dye that we used were all natural and homemade, thus it is environmentally friendly. I had a very zen and relaxing experience. i definitely would recommend this activity if you are planning to explore batik making the natural way. I suggest you do till the end of the process till you remove the wax so that you get to take home your masterpiece and frame it. Thank you

地点：稍微有一点不好找，不过按照 whatsapp 上的指示就能找到了。是一个非常漂亮的小院子，种了很多美丽的植物和兰花。 教练：非常友善、耐心，英语很好。 体验：非常开心！两三个小时的时间一下子就过去了。体验到了传统蜡染的全过程，包括图案设计、草图、上蜡、染色、漂洗等等。成果非常漂亮，我很自豪。 绝对值得来日惹的时候留半天给这个体验，你会很开心的。

A truly special experience! I spent the most lovely afternoon with Belinda and her mother. The directions for finding the house were clear and the experience of making batik was calm and almost meditative. For plant lovers, the garden at the house is really amazing and I enjoyed looking at all the plants during the drying intervals. I am not artistically-inclined at all, but Belinda's clear and patient instructions meant my final product turned out a lot better than expected. As a bonus, she's an excellent photographer and she sends you high-quality photos of your experience the following day. So happy I did this!

Dere bør ikke gå glipp av muligheten til å delta på dette verkstedet. Belinda og moren hennes var utrolig snille og tålmodige. Teknikken som brukes er fantastisk fordi alt er naturlig (fargestoffer, stoffer, voks osv.). De tar bilder til minne, gir deg snacks og svarer på alle spørsmålene dine. Fantastisk verksted 💛

A truly special afternoon. From the moment I received the clear, thoughtful directions to Abhati Studio, everything felt welcoming and intentional. The studio itself is a cosy, beautiful home with a peaceful courtyard - an environment that immediately slows you down. Belinda and her sisters were incredibly patient and caring, guiding me gently through each step. I learned not only the techniques of traditional Jogja batik and natural dyeing, but also the cultural stories and influences behind the designs. Being the only participant made the experience feel deeply personal, accommodating, and meditative. Warm, thoughtful, and grounding. I loved every moment.

This was the best experience of our Java trip. Great time with the family. the waxing part was not easy at all but everyone managed somehow and the result is very personal. you should book full experience to have a ready to go canvas with colour and removed wax. And do not wear white 😉.
