✅ Is it a good fit?
Yes…
- You are a beginner or just moderate experience, want hands-on learning
- You want a workshop that is friendly, supportive, not too formal
- You like taking away something you did yourself (a batik piece, scarf, bag, etc.)
- You care about learning both the craft and some culture/history behind it
If, instead, you want extremely advanced technical batik (e.g. specialist dyes, super fine canting work, professional textile design etc.), you might want to check whether that level is available or whether you need special classes.
