batik classes- a cursory comparison for tourists

for tourists visiting malaysia's klang valley, one of the activities offered is to attend batik making classes, a quick search unearths several offered in the klang valley, among others
1. at lyanne batik, which offers beginners coursesfrom USD 7 TO USD 25.
2 AT TMS ART, starting fromUSD 100/-
3. at jadi batik centre from usd 14/-
4. mat dollah batik, from usd 40/-
5. sam karuna, fine art centre, from usd 300/-
6. wilayah batik, usd5/-
such a wide range of prices, begs the question IS THERE A standard curriculum to learn from, most definitely not, its pretty obvious that wilayah batik offers slap/ bang batik classes, you come then splash over a tiny piece of cloth, perhaps 1 ft by 1 ft. might as well enjoy the swimming pool at the hotel, sams courses are spread over 3 months, one can learn bit by bit , obviously tailored for the bangsar expat community,
lyanne batik offers a friendly atmosphere in real time kamping settings, definitely the best value for money deal for batik classes.
