Your Creative Process

Our friendly local artist will guide you through every step of this time-honored tradition. Your journey begins with a design, where you can either choose from a selection of traditional Balinese motifs or sketch an original idea of your own.

Next, you will learn the meditative art of applying hot wax to the fabric using a special pen-like tool called a canting. This requires a steady hand and mindful focus as you trace your design, protecting the cloth from the dye. Then comes the magic—dipping your fabric into vibrant, colorful dyes and watching as the patterns emerge. The final step is removing the wax to reveal your unique and stunning creation, a masterpiece born from your own hands.
