  • Celuk Village For Gold and Silver Art
    • Celuk Village is a famous village in Bali as a tourist destination for gold and silver crafting. In the past, the dwellers of Celuk Village were mostly farmers. Rumours have it that there were only three families who belonged to the caste of Pande that pioneered this industry. This caste is well-known for its speciality in manipulating all kinds of metals to create accessories for Hindu prayers. As tourism was becoming the main commodity in Bali, more and more villagers left their farms behind and began to learn to craft silver and gold. Specifically, in 1976, almost all of the villagers had become silver smiths and Celuk Village has been popular with its beautiful jewellery and other silver handicrafts since then.

The Batuan Village paintings were gradations of black-to-white ink washes laid over most of the surface, so as to create an atmosphere of darkness and gloom. In the later years, the designs covered the entire space, which often contributed to the crowded nature of these Balinese paintings.
