Join visiting artists Agus Ismoyo and Nia Fliam from leading Indonesian batik studio, Brahma Tirta Sari (Yogyakarta), for a two-day workshop focused on batik culture and technique.

The workshops are based on the Javanese concept of Ngèlmu Iku Kelakonè Kanti Laku or "Learning by Doing". Under the expert guidance of Ismoyo and Nia you will learn the traditional wax-resist cloth dyeing process of batik and have the opportunity to create your own batik painting on cotton.
This workshop is an introduction to batik and no prior experience is required.
Registration includes all workshop materials and entry to the Emily Kam Kngwarray exhibition.
