Our Workshop

Here are some photographs of our bead workers at our small home in the village of Taman. We live in a smal simple house surrounded by farms, it is a quiet and peaceful place to live. It is now becoming more alive with all the local school children being at home doing the work together. I love their smiles and jokes. I wish that everyone can be here with all of us, I am sure that it would be lots of fun.

One of our guest having a great fun with our young bead workers, They are so excited to be with foreigners.

The school kids are so excited to stitch every single seed beads creating beautiful pattern and designs. They do the beadworks after school to kill the spare time and making something for their school fee.

It always be lots of laugh, jokes and great fun in between the works.

Great smile of our local children....innocent....creative and love trying new things in life..

The History of Beads

In Southeast Asia and the South Pacific region, beaded jewelry has served as personal adornment, protective amulets, and political badges of rank, as well as dowries, ceremonial exchange goods, and sacred altar objects. The earliest beads in Southeast Asia were excavated from Neolithic caves in Borneo, and date from 2,500 to 1,000 BC Most of the hundreds of large and small islands in the South Pacific have been accessible to seaborne traders, and beads have been an important element in the region’s trade for thousands of years. Because of sea trade routes linking India, China, western Asia and Europe, the peoples of Taiwan, Indonesia, and the Philippines were significantly influenced by these cultures. Other excavated sites contain beads of agate, carnelian, crystal and amethyst from India and Sri Lanka. Glass beads came from India during the 1st century AD, and Roman-style “eye beads” reached Southeast Asia in the early middle ages before the 12th century.

Prayer Beads are commonly associated with the middle-ages (A.D 600-140) and Roman Catholicism. Today, the religions of nearly two-thirds of the world’s population utilize some form of prayer beads.

Worry Beads, like prayer beads are made from a great many materials, plastic, glass, wood, amber and semi-precious stones. Their primary function is as a release for tension which provides a security that may in fact be subconsciously spiritual.

Beads are an important part of a communicative system in all African societies. Adornment, particularly with beads, communicates cultural values in a symbolic language that express rank, religion, politics and artistic attitudes.
In the Western world we tend to take for granted the Bead, but when we truly think of their use they become little secrets of history that reflect our past and present, and for those to come, our future.

Beading Experience:
I used to work in an art shop in Ubud around 1980’s for a few years. Someday, on my way back home to my village on the west of Ubud, I passed by a shop that was selling especially beaded pieces and the one that attracted was a magnificent beaded basket. It was truly interested pieces and straight away I was into the piece. I encouraged myself to get some beads and a small basket to start learning to create this artwork. It took me many days to figure out the pattern on doing this artwork and was so happy with my progress day by day. You can imagine how happy I was when I could get my basket completely done and admired my works for days. After my first work, I have been happily doing basket by basket up to the present days.
I taught my husband and kids to do the beadworks like what I do. My husband is a temple priest and he hardly can be working away from our village like other men so he was so happy when I asked him to learn to bead. We have been passionately doing this work for around 20 years now. Our daughter is also falling in love in this work even if we never push her to do what we have been doing for 20 years. We have taught many people from our village to bead and there are many school children who are doing it to make extra money for their school. We are very happy to have a great opportunity to help others in our village and we love to invite everyone who loves this artwork to experience it with us. We always ready to share our experience in beadworks.
