Batik Painting Class at Five Art Studio in Ubud

In the morning, I joined a Batik painting class – such a beautiful and relaxing experience. Since I was the only participant, I received very personal guidance from Dika. He patiently walked me through each step and even helped me bring my fish design to life at the end. The atmosphere was calm and pleasant, and the hospitality was wonderful. Absolutely recommended for anyone looking for a special experience in Ubud! In the afternoon, I took part in a woodcarving class. I was also alone, and although I unfortunately forgot the teacher’s name, he was incredibly kind, helpful, and patient. I learned a lot and truly enjoyed creating something with my own hands. I can warmly recommend the Five Arts Studio – a fantastic way to experience Balinese craftsmanship up close.

Had the absolute best time :) a warm group of teachers taught an equally enthusiastic and fun group of students Batik! I was so moved by the Batik Class that I booked the Kelki class! The teachers are kind, encouraging, gentle and patient. I'm most definitely going back for a longer program next time :)!

We had such a wonderful time at the Batik Painting Class! The staff were incredibly warm, patient, and knowledgeable. The session began with a brief history of batik, followed by template selection or freehand sketching. We had a practice round tracing with wax before working on our actual artwork, which helped us feel more confident. The team was so accommodating—supporting our requests for specific colours and techniques, and guiding us kindly throughout. Despite us arriving late due to a 2-hour journey, they were understanding and even extended the session beyond their closing time. What really stood out was how they personally delivered our finished batiks to us the next day—this was truly above and beyond. We bonded so much with the team, and the whole experience was both meaningful and fun. Highly recommended!

I was looking for painting activities and stumbled upon this session. It was one of my most memorable session in Bali ☺️ I had a great time learning from Juli, I didn’t really fancy the samples they provided and modified one of Juli’s original works. He was really happy that I liked his works too. He gave lots of guidance and assistance and also did some touch ups for my work too. Highly recommend this activity to anyone who’s into art ☺️

Five Art Studio is an art studio located in the north of Ubud. The teachers there carefully explained the history and steps of batik and provided us with many templates. However, my girlfriend and I are both illustrators, so of course we have to challenge ourselves to draw our own designs! The batik line drawing part is the most difficult, and it is difficult to control the wax dripping. The teacher will also tell you the method and help you complete it very carefully. Before the final coloring, he will also help you check whether the edges of the image are connected. It took us the whole afternoon and evening that day. I am very grateful that the teachers waited for us to finish before leaving work. And because we were about to fly home the next day, they dried it overnight and personally delivered our works before we boarded the plane. It was very attentive! I would recommend everyone to take this class. Even if you have no painting experience, you can still gain a lot!

Batik painting was an incredibley fun and calming activity. everyone was so thoughtful, kind and great teachers! biggest shout out to my teacher and incredible artist Kadec Ajus. such a great guide with every step of the process and makes you feel comfortable in your skills and challenging yourself a bit more. needed to leave before we could finish the art and they so generously dropped my batik to my hotel. their hospitality is incredible. this studio is an absolute must visit in Ubud. 100% recommend!

Definitely one of my highly recommended activities in Bali. The artists who taught and guided us were really nice and kind. They made us feel safe and encouraged us to explore and commit happy mistakes while creating our art. The experience is very therapeutic and it can unleash your creativity. If you are in Bali foe self-discovery, healing, or just looking for an activity for a slow day, I am highly recommending this activity in your itinerary. Not only will you learn, you will also take home an authentic piece of Bali that you created. Suksma Five Art Studio! 💖🙏🏼😊
