Batik Gratitude Card

For Families
Art Studio
Free with museum admission
Create your own gratitude card using batik motifs. One way to preserve batik designs is to use them in cards to express emotions. Transform visitor-created batik cap (stamped) papers through design and language. Specially designed for bridging bilingual literacy between Indonesian and English, visitors are invited to use a variety of materials and share their ideas in this bilingual and culturally responsive art project.
