Bali: Keliki Painting Workshop
Operating Hours:Monday - Sunday: 09:00 - 17:00 (sessions by booking)
The Vibe:Tiny brushstrokes, centuries of tradition 🎨
Tucked in a quiet village north of Ubud, this workshop preserves the Keliki style of Balinese miniature painting — intricate, detail-rich scenes depicting mythology and daily life, taught by local artists who learned from their grandparents.
Birdsong and a light breeze drift through an open-air studio. A fine-tipped brush dips into natural pigment, and a mythological scene slowly emerges in painstaking miniature detail.
- • One of the few remaining studios teaching authentic Keliki miniature technique
