The Borneo Batik Painting Experience brings the traditional art of batik canting to Sabah Art Gallery in Kota Kinabalu, where guests create their own hand-painted artwork using authentic wax and colouring techniques. Guided by an experienced instructor, the session takes just 15 to 30 minutes, making it an easy addition to a day of sightseeing in the city.
No prior art experience is needed. Guests work at their own pace, applying wax strokes and colour to shape a design that's entirely their own, then take the finished piece home as a personalised handmade souvenir from Sabah. For those wanting more time at the gallery, the session can be combined with Sabah Art Gallery admission, turning the visit into a full day exploring Sabah's art and culture.
This experience suits solo travellers, families and groups looking for a relaxed, hands-on activity between other plans. Just book ahead and drop in anytime between 7:00AM and 3:00PM the following day, whenever it fits your Kota Kinabalu itinerary.
