Ubud Arts & Crafts

Bali's living craft traditions in one stop - hand-worked silver in Celuk, wax-and-dye batik, and the intricate Batuan painting style.

The Experience

Celuk Silver

Hand-Worked Silver & Gold

Celuk has been Bali's home of gold and silversmithing for generations. Watch artisans hand-shape delicate filigree and granulation the same way their grandparents did, then browse the workshops for a one-of-a-kind piece straight from the people who made it.

Batik Workshop

Wax, Dye & Pattern

At a local studio you'll see how hot wax and natural dyes build up a pattern layer by layer - then pick up the canting tool and make your own piece to take home. Hands-on, relaxed, and a genuine keepsake.

Batuan Painting

The Batuan Style

The village of Batuan gave its name to one of Bali's most distinctive painting styles - dense, dark, and richly detailed scenes of village life and mythology. Meet local painters and see how a single canvas can take weeks of fine brushwork.
