Batik Splash!

Add a splash of fashionable colour to our Discover Indonesia weekend.

Dress up in your finest Indonesian batik, ikat or regional costume, and join Dr Fiona Kerlogue (author of Batik – Design, Style and History) in The Clore Ballroom for an illustrated talk to celebrate the beauty and diversity of Indonesian batik and textile design.

Discover more about the techniques of batik-making and the role of batik in Indonesian culture as Fiona takes you through examples from her personal batik collection.

She shares a range of the traditional styles and designs from the main batik-producing regions of Indonesia and motifs which have particular meanings and contexts.
