We stopped here on a day tour or Jakarta. It was our last stop after being awake for 48hours so we were almost going to miss it. I am so glad we didn’t Aldy was so passionate about his craft and so generous with his time. He explains how he makes the different puppets and gives you a quick puppet show in return he asks for nothing (there is no pressure to buy anything). We were so tired on our first trip we decided to go back after a rest. Again we got to witness another puppet show and bought some beautiful puppets at a very good price. Thank you Aldy my family and I loved visiting your studio and we will treasure our puppets.

A wonderful, interesting visit !! Gem, hidden on the second floor of a non descript building, a beautiful studio full of hand crafted treasures. Welcomed by the artist who generously shares his passion for indonesian puppeteering. Not to be missed

We went to this puppet studio right after visiting the Wayang museum thanks to a suggestion by a local tourist guide. We were quite skeptical in the beginning but once we entered the studio we changed our mind. The owner explained to us how he creates the puppets in detail… you can tell he’s very passionate about his job. We even had the opportunity to actually see the puppet show! Such a great insight into Indonesian culture, in English and for free. If you have the opportunity, you should definitely pay a visit, you won’t be disappointed ;)

We had a wonderful time visiting Aldy's studio. It was the absolute highlight of our time in Jakarta. The Wayang museum is currently closed for renovations which we were not aware until we arrived. Around the corner, on a second story is this wonderful studio that we had planned to visit after going to the Wayang. Aldy educated us on all the craftsmanship involved in creating shadow puppets, wooden puppets and masks. Aldy took great care to show how they were all made. There are many examples in the studio and many items you can choose to purchase to support his art. Aldy put on a 10 minute shadow puppet show for the people visiting at the time. It was so entertaining and joyful. We ended up purchasing a few items that the studio can ship home to us. We loved visiting this studio.
