10:30 am–4:30 pm, ½ hour lunch break (both days)Join internationally recognized batik artists Brahma Tirta Sari for a rare two-day workshop exploring the wax resist technique of batik!

Day One offers you an introduction to wax-resist dyeing with natural dyes, exploring traditional motifs and design elements. Day Two dives deeper into the cultural and philosophical underpinnings of batik as you experience creative practices that involve movement, inner reflection, and symbolic design.
