Batik with Ketut Sujana
– Ubud, Bali – on the way to Sanggingan

Like meditation in action, the art of Batik centers the mind and liberates the
heart through creativity. Explore the simple and exciting process of batik
painting. It will enable you to create a rewarding piece of art to bring home
from your travels in Bali.
Your teacher is Bali batik artist Ketut Sujana. In this unique batik painting
workshop Ketut will help you use this ancient art form to create contemporary
designs. Ketut's gentle and patient instruction helps the student discover in
physical form the images that all of us carry in our hearts; his workshops are
specifically tailored for each group or individual.
All the action takes place in the studio behind Ketut's gallery. The studio is
located in Lungsiakan on the main road just outside Ubud, Bali's cultural and
artistic center.
There's plenty of room to move about and when you need to take time out and
think about your master piece, the rice fields are in the back garden where
planting and harvesting goes on in the traditional way.
Come an join Ketut for a transformational afternoon of Bali Batik Art.
