Your Hands-On Jewelry Experience
Join us to start your journey by first learning the crucial difference between fake and genuine gemstones. Next, you'll witness, and even assist, as raw silver is melted down in the small furnace—a truly traditional spectacle. You will then get hands-on, using traditional tools to measure, shape, and hammer the silver into your desired design before moving on to the intricate steps of soldering and finishing. The best part? You'll walk away with a unique, handcrafted piece of jewellery that you created yourself by paying factory price!

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.
