As part of the Archipelago Group, Aston Sentul, a modern-styled brand and one of the leading resorts located just 10 minutes from Bogor and 50 minutes from Jakarta, caters to both business travelers and families on weekends. In celebration of National Batik Day, Aston Sentul recently hosted a special event called "Membatik."
The event, held at the Barata Terrace on the 3rd floor, started in the morning and invited guests to participate in this cultural celebration, showcasing pride in Indonesia's batik heritage.
Participants had the opportunity to learn the traditional art of batik-making firsthand from Batik Cibuluh and Gaziseri communities. Guests were guided through the process of creating batik using traditional techniques, allowing them to design unique motifs inspired by West Java’s distinct patterns.
This hands-on experience enabled participants not only to admire the beauty of batik but also to engage directly in its creation. The batik-making session was accompanied by the back sounds of traditional music, fostering a harmonious atmosphere infused with local wisdom. A dedicated batik corner was also available for guests to purchase artisan-made batik pieces.
“We are extremely proud to have hosted this event. Additionally, each participant was given a batik handkerchief as a souvenir to take home,” said Indri Hapsari, Marcomm Manager”.
