No experience needed to have a great time! - My class was a great experience of learning how to make a Batik painting. The tour offered to pick me up from the train station or bus terminal to save me time to get there. There was then a good explanation on how the process worked and I was given a chance to test my skills before doing my actual painting. There were multiple designs they offered me but if you are more creative you can do your own. I kept getting assistance to make sure my painting was ready to colour. There are a few colours you can use but you can make them lighter by adding water. Once everything was done, I went to a small temple across the road to look around at whilst my painting was drying. My guide also was great in taking photos and videos of me during different stages of the process. I felt that this was an amazing cultural experience and it is better to go to Prambanan for this class, not the temples. Terima kasih banyak!

Highly recommend if you like art and painting - It was very nice, teacher explained everything patiently and helped me correct mistakes. There's a big choice of patterns and there is also a possibility of drawing your own pattern. Also, tea was delicious and in meantime while you wait for your work to dry out, the teacher showes you a nearby temple.

Great excursion and a pleasant way to meet wonderfull Indonesian people! - We had a wonderful time here learning about the way how Batik is created and where all the paterns and colours come from. Best part was actually making our own Batik! Our interesting host was very warm and friendly and the whole experience was made complete by a very nice teacher who helped us feel special being there.

Brilliant batik course - A really great experience. Definitely not a gentle program for the nerves. But the results are impressive. Citra explained everything to us wonderfully and was super patient with us. I can only recommend it :-) thank you for this wonderful morning!

Batik class with Citra - We really enjoyed the batik class with Citra! We had a lot of fun while doing it and the results looked amazing. During the waiting time we visited a beautiful temple just a few meters away. Thanks for the great day Citra!

Batik Painting near Prambahan - Wonderful afternoon learning the art of batik in a beautiful space with a knowledgeable guide who documents your whole process. The tour also includes a visit to a nearby temple and snacks. This business supports the local woman by displaying their batik in its gallery. This was such a lovely experience, I highly recommend after your visit to Prambahan as it is 2 mins away!

Amazing - The experience of making our own batik was amazing but also difficult. They show you how to make the handmade batik from start to finnish. Starting from the print and waxing to the colouring and cooking of the fabrick. We are giving 5 stars, because they also help the People in poverty around them, by giving lessons in making batik to sell.

Relaxing, fun and interesting - It was a lovely experience. We enjoyed ourselves drawing out our pictures and then waxing before colouring. The teacher was so helpful and pleasant. While our batiks were drying we saw the nearby Buddhist temple with our English speaking guide. Thoroughly recommend this.
