Bali Purma Art & Workshop was created to give visitors the opportunity to experience these traditions in a more personal and meaningful way.Rather than simply observing Balinese culture from the outside, our guests are invited to sit down with local artisans, learn traditional techniques and take part in the creative process.

Our workshops bring together art, craftsmanship and cultural education in a relaxed environment in Mas Village, Ubud. Each class is designed to introduce visitors to a different aspect of Balinese creativity, from working with natural materials and carving to painting, weaving, music and traditional dance.

We welcome travelers from around the world, including couples, families, solo travelers, friends and groups who want to discover a more authentic and creative side of Bali.

Was truly a great experience. Brought my kids (8&7) and they had a blast. They got help and the support from the staff was amazing. And the kids got a great keepsake to bring home.

Experiencia muy bonita, gente amable y cercana. Nos a costado unos 24€ por persona, y estas unas 2h ya que el proceso es lento, para disfrutar con calma y conectar con el ambiente. Además hacen muchas más cosas como taller de madera esculpida, esculpir sandía, entre más cosas, un sitio muy recomendado. GRACIAS ❤️

Went here as an Airbnb experience to make silver jewelry and it was excellent - we did the bulk of the making ourselves, with patient and kind guidance from two experienced silversmiths. The setting in an artist compound was also super beautiful!

Most amazing ring making experience I’ve ever had, they let you design and draw your ring. They’re extremely talented and make us feel comfortable and homely. They spent as long as it took to make the rings perfect and made sure we were happy the whole time and even made us small Indonesian cakes and coffee. I would highly recommend this place and it’s worth the price twice over. Thankyou!

Absolutely superb family-run business! They accommodated our entire family of 9, picked us up, helped us create 11 very different rings including incorporating some sentimental gems we bought with us, polish our existing jewellery, and even fixed our old broken jewellery for a small fee. They offered us tea and traditional cakes, then took us to a coffee plantation and on for lunch before taking us home. We loved their reccomendations so much that we then paid for them to take us to a traditional performance in the evening. To cap it all off they crafted a bespoke pair of earings for our mother, who cried when we presented them to her later the next day. I cannot reccomend them enough, great value and we felt very well looked after in their safe hands.

Absolutely AMAZING! We felt so invited and welcomed by everyone here. We ended up making rings, doing a wood carving class, and batik painting. We’re so glad we did all their classes. Because we did so many they also included lunch at a local restaurant nearby; very good food!!. The place is a collab amongst local artists like silver smithing, batik painting and wood carvers. They each were so excited to teach us their specific craft, all while we discussed their culture. Our absolute favorite part was being able to openly talk to them about Balinese culture and getting to know the locals and their ways a little better. Throughout the classes they also constantly gave us coffee and little local homemade desserts. Can’t recommend enough, and it’s a great way to walk away with something to physically remember the experience by. Must do!!
