Description
Bali’s master wood carvers are renowned throughout the world for their intricate creations that adorn nearly every temple and home on the island. We invite you to step away from the busy streets and join us in our peaceful, traditional family compound in Taro Village to discover the ancient, meditative art of Balinese wood carving.
This is not a rushed factory tour; it is a 3-hour creative masterclass designed to help you disconnect from the world and connect with your inner artist. Guided by our patient local master carvers—who inherited these skills from generations before them—you will learn to find the animal, mask, or spirit “hiding” inside a raw block of wood.
Listen to the rhythmic tap-tap-tap of the wooden mallet, smell the fresh wood shavings, and experience a profoundly relaxing cultural tradition. Whether you are an experienced artist or someone who hasn’t crafted since childhood, our masters are by your side every step of the way. You will leave with a deep appreciation for Balinese artistry and a beautiful, personalized wooden masterpiece to take home.
