Bali Fabric and Textile Retreat in Sanur
Sanur textile retreat · 16 to 22 May 2027
There’s Bali.
Then there’s my Bali.
I’m Alice from Bright Threads, and I’d love you to join me for six nights in Sanur. My team and I will take you fabric hunting in Denpasar, and you’ll choose a screen and a colour for a piece of linen of your own. At the end of the day, we’ll sit down to dinner with plenty to talk about.

In Denpasar
Bring a pattern. Leave room in your suitcase.
My team and I will take you through the fabric shops. Bring a pattern you’ve been meaning to make or see what catches your eye. I came home from the first retreat with clothes I hadn’t even planned to make.
My sewing team can help you work out what’s possible. Anything you choose to have made is an additional purchase.
At the printing workshop
Print your own linen
We’ll visit the printing factory and meet the people behind my linen. Choose a screen and a colour for your own piece. You can watch it being printed or have a go at screen printing it yourself with help from my team. You can get as hands-on as you like.
What the week looks like
Six nights in Sanur with time to make things, explore and sit down together at the end of the day.
Stay in Sanur
Six nights at Meru Sanur, with breakfast and time to go for a wander.Make things together
Go fabric hunting, meet my master dyer, try screen printing and join me for a cooking class.Come on your own
We’re a small group. There’s always someone to ask for a second opinion on a fabric or sit beside at dinner. You don’t need to know how to sew.Time to make your own plans
A visit with my healer
On our free day, you can join me for an optional visit with my healer at the base of Mount Agung. I’ve visited this family every year since 2020. I highly recommend it if you’re curious about traditional Balinese culture and would enjoy a little time to reflect.
Lunch at La Lucciola
If you’d like to join me for lunch, I’ll take you to La Lucciola in Seminyak. My family and I have been going there for over 15 years. It’s optional, and lunch is at your own expense.
Take it easy in Sanur
Have a look around the shops, choose another experience for your free day or spend it by the pool.
