Duration in Bali: June 28 – July11
I plan to make a hand-made book focused on ideas and challenges related to water. I would like to generate a second book focused on plants with medical or food applications if time allows. I will be bringing a small underwater camera, a field guide to flora of Bali and some art supplies.
