Discover Batik Art in Galle: Workshop & Factory Experience


Overview
Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Sri Lankan batik at Shermila Batiks, a family-run workshop established in 1991. Now led by the second generation, the workshop continues to celebrate traditional craftsmanship, culture, and creativity.
Located in Koggala, a short drive from Galle, the factory and gallery showcase authentic batik clothing, accessories, and home décor—each piece reflecting Sri Lanka’s rich traditions, intricate patterns, and natural dyes.
Start with a guided factory tour to watch skilled artisans bring plain fabric to life using the centuries-old wax-resist dyeing technique. Observe every step: drawing, waxing, dyeing, and boiling, as intricate designs emerge before your eyes.
Then, take part in a hands-on workshop to create your own batik piece. With guidance from experienced artisans, you’ll design, wax, and dye your fabric, leaving with a one-of-a-kind souvenir and an unforgettable cultural experience.
