Textiles & Craft of Bali
_8 night tours
Join this great new 8 night tour of the magical island of Bali. Away from the hordes of tourists we will explore the ancient traditions of Balinese textiles and craft across this beautiful island. Try your hand at something new when you take a traditional batik class, a silver jewellery making class, a traditional painting class and a cooking lesson. Capped at a maximum of 10 people this is a great opportunity to get away from it all as you relax and indulge your creative side. We stay in boutique hotels in the mountain retreat of Ubud and the quiet Sanur beach and travel by private air-con transport. |
