Nunung combined Batik art making with lots of story telling, I learned about Javanese culture from her, while creating my first piece of Batik art, highly recommend her workshop to anyone interested in traditional Javanese arts and culture!

I would give this 10 stars if I could! I am neither creative nor into making things myself, but am so glad I signed up - mainly because of the raving reviews. The whole Batik process was way more enjoyable than I had ever expected, and I was really happy with the result, but even if it hadn't been - it would have been a fabulous experience regardless. Nunung is such an amazing and interesting person to chat to. Getting to know her a bit and hearing about her life and pursuit of her dreams and the passion she has for Batik, music, anything creative really, as well as the love for the neighbourhood children she works with was very special. Adding some delicious lunch - cooked by her mum - and a really informative Kotagede tour from her cheeky dad while the fabric was drying, made this a memorable favourite.

This was such a special day! The host and her family were so welcoming and incredibly informative. They are warm and welcome you with open arms into their neighborhood/home. Doing the art was very fun, followed by great meal, and walking tour. 1000/10 so amazing

Our host Nurung was such a genuine person and an amazing artist! She’s so funny and made the experience so fun! We learned about the Batik making process as well as its history. She’s also a great photographer and took some amazing photos for us during the class! Nurung’s father also took us on a lovely walking tour around Kotegede while we waited for the dye to dry. He knows the area and the local community like no one else! It was truly an authentic experience that you can’t get anywhere else. Highly highly recommend this!
