We love travelling on buying trips to Bali. It’s our favorite place to shop. Bali is unique in that it has an ancient culture of artistic craftsmanship that is closely entwined with their own blend of Hinduism. Carvers, potters, painters and stone masons have traditionally crafted and maintained Bali’s countless temples and holy places. The various crafts tend to be centered around certain villages. Stone carvings can be found in and around Batubulan, while the best terracotta is found in Tabanan and the best wood carvers are located around Ubud. The Balinese dedicate themselves to their artistic crafts with a near religious fervor. It is a form of meditation to them. And it shows in the high quality of Balinese arts and crafts. Something Special has long been associated with groups of artists and craftsmen in various villages. Our purchases and orders for products support entire families and village. Something Special also operates a foundation that provides financial support for Balinese arts and crafts families and towns. Come browse through the many treasures we’ve brought home from Bali. You will be amazed at the variety and beauty of Balinese products, just as we are. They make excellent and unique gifts. An accent from Bali will look great in your home or office.
