Wax / Threads / Roots — A Batik Experience at Artistic Artifacts
Saturday, July 26 / Sunday, July 27, 2025
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! This program is presented by Babaran Segaragunung Culture House, an organization based in Indonesia and dedicated to nurturing creative growth through traditional wisdom and artistic practice. Facilitated by Nia Fliam and Desmond Anabrang Fliam-Ismoyo, in this immersive workshop, participants explore how batik is not only a technique, but an intangible creative process rooted in ancestral knowledge. 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. No batik experience is required -- your registration cost includes a $25 supply fee: all materials will be provided.
