Craftsmanship in Bali goes beyond the simple creation of an item or artefact. In many of the island’s traditional craft industries therein lies a deeper philosophy, whether tied to the object itself or the process of its creation.

In the May-June Edition of NOW! Bali Magazine, we bring the island artisans to the forefront. We share the stories of Bali's traditional craftspeople, the philosophy behind their work, and dive into the deeper meaning of each craft. We speak to those who have revived traditions and indeed transcended them so that Bali's craft scene may flourish in today's world. Those that are Keeping Craft Alive.

For those keen to get their own hands working on something, we tell of workshops one can join on the island; and also explore the intersection of arts, craft and tourism, looking at destinations whose design is Bali-inspired.

All this and much, much more in our latest edition. Download now.
