Master Artisans Around Ubud

BALI,  INDONESIA

Ubud is well known for being the art and cultural center of Bali though one has to look a little further to find the master crafts people who often times are found in remote villages.  Wayan took us to several places which helped us to see to art process at work.

Photos weren't allowed in the jewelry shop since the design were so exclusive.   The outside of the building is reflective of the designs within.
