Hands-on culture in Mawun
Make something by hand with local Culture Keepers through weaving, culinary, batik, pottery, bamboo, and rattan workshops between Kuta Lombok and Selong Belanak.
What happens here
LAKU workshops are practical, personal, and rooted in living Indonesian culture. Guests learn directly from the people who carry the practice, ask questions as they make, and leave with a handmade piece, shared dish, or deeper understanding of the tradition.
Available workshops
Some workshops are available to book regularly, while others depend on Culture Keeper, material, and date availability. Each workshop has a minimum booking of EUR 75 for up to 3 people, with additional guests at EUR 25 each. A traditional drink and a plate of traditional snacks are included.
