Guided Batik Workshop : create your own batik handkerchief souvenir
Sri Lankan Batik is an island craft forged through designs and patterns, with the tools of wax and ink. Originating from Indonesia, Batik was first introduced to Sri Lanka by the Dutch in the 19th century. Simply put, its art which decorates a piece of cloth by creating a design or pattern with wax, filling in the rest with a vibrant mosaic of colour. We’ve partnered with small homebrewed workshops for a batik-making experience, which you can personalise on a handkerchief. There’s really no better souvenir than one with your name on it!
