Located just a short ride north of Ubud’s busy center, the workshop is set in a peaceful village atmosphere that feels far away from the crowds. It is also home to a living museum — a gallery filled with thousands of wood carvings of all shapes and sizes. From small, delicate figures to enormous mythological sculptures, each piece reflects centuries-old techniques and stories from Balinese Hindu culture, passed down from generation to generation. The ambiance is 100% authentic, with temple offerings, traditional architecture, and the calming rhythm of daily life in the background.

Visitors are welcome to wander and admire the collection at their own pace, but what makes this experience even more special is the chance to watch master carvers in action. These local artists have been carving since childhood, using simple hand tools to bring out incredible detail in wood. You’ll see them carefully shape each piece with patience, passion, and skill that’s rare to find elsewhere. It’s a mesmerizing process and gives a deep appreciation for how much time and focus goes into even the smallest statue.

For those who want to do more than just observe, the workshop also offers a beginner-friendly wood carving class. No prior experience is needed. You’ll receive a short introduction to the tools, wood types, and techniques, then try carving your own small piece under the guidance of a professional. It’s not just fun — it’s also therapeutic and a meaningful way to engage with Balinese culture. You’ll leave not just with a unique souvenir but with memories of learning from a tradition rooted in devotion, community, and artistic expression.

This Ubud wood carving experience is perfect for solo travelers, families, or couples looking for an authentic cultural activity away from tourist-heavy spots. It also makes for a peaceful and creative break between temple visits or nature tours.

To book or ask any questions, feel free to message us directly on WhatsApp at +62 8 123 666 567. We’ll be happy to help arrange your visit or class. Experience Ubud in a different way — not just by seeing, but by creating, learning, and connecting with real Balinese culture through the timeless art of wood carving.
