    Well, the experience began with stepping into a time-warp of a shop that looked remarkably like Grace Brothers, with Malaysia's equivalent of Mrs Slocombe holding court in the middle of the floor. We were ushered into the craft room and shown how batik patterns are imprinted on fabric, using a wax template, and then filled in with exotic colours. We chose our patterns and spent a couple of hours totally absorbed by the process of mixing colours, dabbing the fabric and watching the colours get drawn into the patterns. I enjoyed it so much that I forgot all my troubles, including how much this holiday was costing. This is a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours, away from the busy streets of KL, and produce your very own piece of batik to take home. Mrs Slocombe was truly delightful and sent us on our way with big grins on our faces. I'm free!

    Very kids friendly and patience staffs. Kids enjoy the batik draw and paint session, they learn about the traditional art and the process of decorating cloth using the block printing (cap) or hand-drawn (canting) techniques, or a combination of both. Must do activity when visit Malaysia

    We started with a short informative tour to learn the steps and process and then we jumped into our design work. We were given the option of freely drawing our own patterns or selecting from pre-drawn traditional templates, which is the option we went with. From there we were given individual instructions and help with applying first the wax and then the paint to the fabric. Everything went super smooth, and they even let us work an extra hour longer than scheduled because we were enjoying the painting process so much. Be warned: if you wish to have a fully finished product to take home, they will need to keep your work overnight to finish drying and prepping it! This was not a problem for us, and they contacted us early the next morning to pick up our work. They were even matted them in cardstock frames!
