There is crushing pressure from Western economic forces to change the way things are made in Bali, replacing village made craft with factory work, the produce of which now fills the shelves of department stores throughout the western world. Many of of our families have learned their crafts from their parents, while others apprenticed themselves in their villages to learn what they do, but what they all have in common, is that they are nice people to work with, and care about the quality and art of what they make . . .by working with them directly we and you have the opportunity to support them in that way of life . . . we encourage you to read through these short descriptions, and come to Bali yourself to meet them.
Please take time to read about Bali Booty Office and Wayan Bantok, and see where we work, and who takes us there . . Wayan and his wife Nyoman are the salt of the Earth, hard-working, and entrepeneurial, and yet not too good to be involved in everyday village life, just like anyone else.
