The full-day program includes an exploration of Batik Nitik's history and creation process, culminating in a hands-on workshop where participants can craft their own pieces with guidance from experienced artisans.

Noto Titik: Batik Nitik and the Stories Behind provides a unique opportunity to delve into the rich heritage of Batik Nitik, a symbol of Javanese cultural identity and craftsmanship. Beginning with a warm welcome, participants are introduced to the history and beliefs surrounding Batik Nitik, tracing its roots from Kembang Songo to its significance in resisting colonial economic control.
