Review Body: This place and the people running it is and are really quite amazing. The structures where you work are wonders, incredibly inspiring, and had a wonderful, relaxing energy to be in. The very friendly instructors are very good at teaching us newbies, displaying patience and encouragement in equal measure. We took our two boys (10 and 12) who made a phenomenal dragonfly and stand, despite being a long day, the time flew by. My wife and I made a lovely table - such a rewarding and educational experience, really recommend it to anyone wishing to learn a new skill and be inspired to make all things bamboo when you return home 😊

Review Body: Thank you Natalie for taking me into your bamboo world for a day! YouÍre a beautiful soul and admire what you have done for your daughter and the local community! I loved the hands-on experience you gave us with bamboo and the opportunity to build a real piece of furniture with local bamboo craftsmen. The bamboo home you built and host the workshop in, is a true testament of your commitment to sustainable use of bamboo.

Review Body: Had a great time talking about Natalie's bamboo home. I was very curious about how it was built and how to work with the bamboo. Natalie was so informative and she shared the process of how she built her bamboo home from an empty land. Even though I had to leave earlier for personal matter, I had a great time during event. Thank you!

Review Body: We had such a great time with Natalie to design and create a piece of furniture from bamboo to take home with us. Natalie and the Balinese craftsmen explained everything from how bamboo is used, treated and made into houses or beautiful furniture. It was amazing!

Review Body: This was one of a kind experience for me and my two children aged 11 and 8 years old. They had hands on experience with local Indonesians and Natalie on how to use bamboo in building housing but also objects such us forks, bowls, cups. We had lots of fun.

Review Body: Natalie, her master craftsman and assistant were absolutely fantastic. They couldn't have done anything else to make my day with them a perfectly wonderful experience. As I was the only "student" this day, they tailor-made the experience to my requirement, so the model making ended up a furniture making experience. This taught me the basic joints which will be helpful for me at home. Thank you creative bamboo team from "mister" Bill for a wonderful & memorable day. (& I've got a stool to take home).

Review Body: Natalie was a great host and was able to translate with the local artisans which made it really feel like we were all apart of the process. The setting was great located in a bamboo structure among the beautiful farm lands of Bali. We learned about the tools that are used and joints such as a dove tail something they call a fish mouth. I would highly recommend this to anyone who would like to learn about working with bamboo and spend the day with lovely peoples.

Review Body: I had an engaging and fun experience. Had a chit chat with the founder, Natalie, and got to learn about bamboo building design, some of the techniques used & the projects in progress. Afterwards, i had my hands-on session on designing & building the bamboo miniature building. As I am a novice, I had an experienced master, MaDe, who came up with a design and guided me on building. MaDe was patient and helped me build together. I am grateful for this experience.

Lerne deinen Gastgeber kennen

Natalie Davenport ist das Herz hinter Bamboo Creative Bali, einer kleinen, gemeinschaftsgetragenen Initiative, die sie 2020 gegründet hat. Ursprünglich aus Australien stammend, nennt Natalie heute Bali ihr Zuhause, wo sie nicht nur Bambushäuser gebaut hat, sondern auch eine sinnstiftende Lebensweise. Ihr Weg führte sie durch das Leben als alleinerziehende Mutter, das praktische Erlernen des Bambushandwerks von philippinischen Familien und die Schaffung von Orten, die natürliches Bauen, gemeinsames Lernen und Fürsorge in der Gemeinschaft verbinden. Natalies Arbeit konzentriert sich auf praktische, inklusive Lösungen – wie Homestays, die Menschen mit Behinderungen unterstützen, und Gärten, die in der Permakultur verwurzelt sind. Sie setzt sich mit großer Überzeugung dafür ein, den Alltag für alle Beteiligten nachhaltiger und verbundener zu gestalten. Bei allem bringt Natalie eine stille Stärke mit, geprägt von Lebenserfahrung und echter Liebe zur Gemeinschaft.
