About This Tour
Step into the colorful world of Sri Lankan batik at Shermila Batiks, a family-run workshop founded in 1991. What began as a small home business has grown into a lively center of creativity and tradition, now proudly continued by the second generation to keep this beautiful art alive. Located in Koggala, just a short drive from Galle, the factory and gallery welcome you to discover authentic handcrafted clothing, accessories, and home décor made with care and skill. Your experience begins with a guided factory tour, where you’ll watch artisans transform plain fabric into vibrant designs using the traditional wax-resist dyeing method. See each stage of drawing, waxing, dyeing, and boiling as the colors and patterns come to life. Then join a hands-on workshop and create your own batik piece. With expert guidance, you’ll design, wax, and dye your fabric, leaving with a unique handmade souvenir and a meaningful cultural experience.
