Last Day in Ubud

After our wonderful painting workshop where everyone tried their hand at modern Balinese painting with bamboo pens and brushes we finally had two days off in a row. On their days off everyone was finishing up projects and doing their last shopping in Ubud. Tomorrow we leave for the coastal town of Amed for some snorkeling and presenting to each other all that we done for our classes.

This morning we had our last workshop which was making the traditional Balinese offerings.  Balinese make offerings every day in a huge variety of sizes and designs. Even the most basic offering proved to be quite a challenge for us. Balinese women can spend many hours a day preparing and giving offerings in their home and for temples nearby. Most start learning these skills when they are six years old.
