Tohpati Village is well known as the center of Balinese Batik Stick Weaving (a traditional art of patterned fabric making). It makes for a great stop on a Bali Shopping Tour. The artisans in this village diligently and meticulously apply dots and lines of molten wax to create beautiful ornaments on the cloth. The process is mesmerizing to witness first-hand. Upon first visiting this batik cottage industry center, visitors will feel a great sensory stimulation and will be captivated by the vibrant colors, unique patterns, and distinctive aroma of the batik-making process. Only with repeated visits and deeper study will one be able to better understand the different types of batik designs and the origins and philosophies behind them. Each visit offers a new experience in appreciating the beauty and complexity of traditional Balinese batik art.
Celuk Village is well known as a tourist destination in Bali that is famous for its precious metal crafts such as gold and silver. In the past, the majority of Celuk villagers made a living from farming. It is rumored that only three families from the Pande caste pioneered the industry. The caste is known for their expertise in processing various types of metal to create accessories used in Hindu religious rituals. As the tourism sector became the mainstay of Bali’s economy, more villagers shifted from being farmers to precious metal craftsmen. Specifically, by 1976, almost the entire village had transformed into silversmiths, and since then Celuk Village has become known as Bali’s shopping paradise, offering an array of stunning jewelry and other silver crafts.
Batuan has been the center of Balinese arts and crafts for over a thousand years. Historical notes show that Batuan Village has an existence that has lasted for a thousand years. Unlike Ubud, Batuan Village has maintained its authenticity without being influenced by Western cultural elements. Batuan paintings are often dark and dense with depictions of legendary scenes or everyday life themes such as bizarre mythological creatures and witches interacting with humans. The distinctive feature of Batuan Village paintings lies in the use of black to white ink gradations applied to most of the canvas surface, creating a gloomy and dark atmosphere. Over time, the design style of Batuan paintings evolved to fill the entire canvas space, often resulting in a crowded and full impression in these Balinese paintings.
There is a village on the Island of the Gods that is known as an artistic village with excellence in woodcarving. This village is one of the mandatory destinations on a shopping trip in Bali. Located in the Ubud sub-district of Gianyar Regency, in the eastern part of Bali, Mas Village is characterized by its carvings that uniquely combine elements of humanism and naturalism. The art of carving developed in this village has historical roots that reach far into the past. The wood carvings produced by the artisans of Mas Village have a broad and deep dimension, including statues that are considered sacred by their devotees (idol statues), as well as various artifacts that reflect the daily social life of the Balinese people.
