About this tour
Spend a morning in a Seminyak workshop learning silversmithing from local craftspeople. You'll work with five grams of pure Indonesian silver to craft a wearable piece—earrings, ring, or pendant—guided through each stage from shaping to polish. The class covers the trade's roots in the region and sends you home with a handmade souvenir that actually reflects your own effort rather than a mass-produced trinket.
Highlights
- Shape raw silver into finished jewellery under expert instruction
- Discover how Seminyak became a silver-working hub
- Sand and polish your piece to completion
- Take home what you've made, not a shop sample
- Small-group format with English-speaking instructor
- Hands-on traditional techniques, no prior experience needed
What to expect
You'll arrive at a working studio in Seminyak or Legian and meet your instructor, who walks you through the basics of silversmithing. Expect hands-on work: hammering, filing, shaping. The instructor demonstrates each step, then guides you through repeating it on your own piece. You won't rush—finishing involves careful sanding and polishing to reveal the metal's lustre. By the end, you'll have a functional piece of jewellery you've actually built, along with context on why this craft matters locally.
Good to know
Classes aren't suitable if you have spinal injuries, serious heart conditions, or are pregnant. Service animals are welcome. The workshop sits near public transport, so you can reach it easily from most Bali bases. Bring clothes you don't mind getting dusty.
