Extremely fun and fulfilling experience! - This was such an incredible experience! The museum itself was one of the most stunning places ever and there is soooo much to do and see, live art being made, exhibitions and the gardens are beautiful. The wood working teacher was incredibly talented, he was a great teacher, amazing with my 11 year old daughter and we left the class feeling like we had learnt so much and accomplished something really amazing and fulfilling, I would definitely recommend!

😊👍 Great experience Thanks Ketut. - Ketut masterfully guided me in creating a lotus. This gave me an appreciation for Carvings I would see throughout Bali. This was a great experience and definitely walk through the museum, impressive art. The class was in the sun in front of a Museum Gallery, the shaded side would have been better, I melted.

A wonderful, first time experience! - My wife and I participated in this workshop and we had a wonderful experience! Our teacher, Ketut, was kind, patient and very supportive. We took our time and enjoyed every moment of chipping away the block of wood to end up with a truly beautiful product. I would recommend anyone that has an interest in art or woodwork should try this out. This is a beginner level so anyone can give it a try. Woodcraft is a big part of Balinese culture and we have a newfound respect for the hard work that goes into sculpting these works of art by hand. Thank you Ketut and ARMA for providing us with a fantastic experience!

A great experience with an amazing knowledgeable host. - Maduak was a wonderful host and guide at his family home in the artisan village of Mas. He and his uncle were patient and confident to show me and the others how to learn how to carve safely in the traditional Balinese style. I would definitely recommend this to those wanting to experience local arts in a village setting.

Take Home a Wooden Memory - Even if you haven't worked with wood before, this class is a wonderful experience. Wayan is a skilled and knowledgeable craftsman/instructor with a big smile and good sense of humor. In a little under two hours, he taught my fiancee - who has never once wielded a chisel or mallet - how to carve a pretty hibiscus flower out of a block of wood. As a bonus, the class admission fee also gives you access to the Agung Rai Museum of Art (ARMA) grounds, which is a whole experience by itself.

Recommended for art lovers - Great experience and they are so friendly. Recommended, but you must be patient as we took more than 2 hours, almost three and a half.
