The website is http://www.pondokpekaklibrary.com/. Fruit carving is great fun for little kids, and I’d recommend you do that one. Cheers.

Hi Annette,

Dot painting is not a traditional art in Bali – it’s borrowed from Australian Indigenous people, and usually done in factories, so I don’t think you’ll find a formal class. These guys sell dot art:

Ubud Painting Studio
Jl. By Pass Ngurah Rai No. 168 Sanur, Bali – Indonesia
Phone: +62 361 7904001 Mobile: +62 812 397 4001
info@ubudpainting.com
http://www.ubudpainting.com

So you might try and contact them and see if they could put on a class for you, although I’m not sure whether they use syringes – there are other methods of making the dots.

Cheers,

Theodorq

Hi Theodora! I saw a video of an artist painting with syringes. It’s called Bali Dot Painting? Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hst648gNiU8. Anyway, I am interested in learning more about how they paint with syringes. Do you know of anyone who teaches this? Thanks for your help!

Lots of places, including Pondok Pekak and Puri Lukisan, will teach you how to weave offerings, if that’s what you mean by basket-making: Arma has actual basket-weaving classes – http://www.armabali.com/arma-culture/workshops/. There are incense producers on Bali, like these guys – http://id.indo.com/bali/shops/gopala/index.html – but I’m not aware of any classes. When I’ve seen incense being made (in Vietnam) it’s a pretty industrial process, not artisan. Hope this helps!

I don’t know anywhere that does courses in these, I’m afraid. I’ll have a look and see if there’s a factory you can visit – I’d like to know.
