Wood carver work shop
Woodcarving is one of Bali’s traditional arts, passed down through generations and deeply rooted in the island’s Hindu culture. The craft flourished in villages near Ubud, where skilled artisans transform local hardwoods—like teak, mahogany, and crocodile wood—into sculptures, masks, temple decorations, and furniture.
Balinese woodcarving is not merely decorative; it carries spiritual meaning. Many works depict deities, mythological creatures, or scenes from Hindu epics such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
