Experience Authentic Ubud Craftsmanship at HOSHINOYA Bali
Introducing Tenun Cagcag Traditional Weaving Tour
Bali, September 2023. Textiles and ceremonial cloths have been at the forefront of Bali’s traditions for thousands of years. HOSHINOYA Bali invites guests to experience an authentic weaving workshop and meet the local artisans through their latest activity offering, Tenun Cagcag Traditional Weaving Tour.
Guests can witness the weaving of “Tenun Cagcag” cloth, which is indigenous to Ubud and was once reserved for Balinese nobles and religious ceremonies. ‘Tenun’ means weaving, and ‘Cagcag’ is the sound made by the wooden loom during the weaving process. Hand-looms clack and clap, weaving length-upon-length of vegetable-dyed threads, form the beautifully distinctive patterns. The motifs and patterns found in the fabric showcase exceptional artistry, drawing inspiration from the local surroundings, such as plant and animal forms.
See firsthand the incredible skills of Ubud’s master weavers, learn about their techniques, and discover the stories behind each piece of fabric. Embark on a cultural immersion of a lifetime, exploring the heart of Ubud’s local textile culture and the rich traditions of the Balinese unique villages.
With a panoramic view of Ubud, HOSHINOYA Bali’s Tenun Cagcag Traditional Weaving Tour brings a distinctive experience, an invitation to knowledge, and travel in the form of an initiatory journey that takes visitors to the heart of Bali’s vibrant culture and heritage. The activity is part of HOSHINOYA Bali’s ongoing initiative to share glimpses of the “Unknown Ubud” and their rooted philosophy of preserving Balinese culture from within.
