The Blessing Day: Craft a Penjor and Cook a Traditional Balinese Dish
Overview
Create your own Penjor with local artisans. You’ll learn the meaning behind every ornament, craft your piece with guidance, and wrap the day cooking (and eating!) a home-style Balinese dish together. You’ll go home with skills, stories, and a mini-Penjor you made yourself.
*We’ll confirm with you 3 days in advance. If there’s only 1 participant overall, we’ll unfortunately have to cancel—but don’t worry, we’ll either reschedule or offer a full refund or credit for a future experience.
We’ll inform you 1 day in advance about the pick-up times, since it may change if only one participant joins from a pick-up spot, as routes might be changed.
