What to expect

You'll arrive at a small workshop in Canggu where an English-speaking instructor meets you. After a brief history of local metalwork, you'll get hands-on: measuring your silver, annealing it, then using chisels, hammers and files to shape your chosen design. The instructor demonstrates each step; you follow at your own pace. Once the form is right, you'll spend time sanding and polishing until it gleams. The whole process is tactile and unhurried—expect to get warm, and possibly dusty. By the end, you'll have a piece of jewellery that's genuinely yours.
