What to expect
Your guide collects you early morning and drives to Celuk, the island's silversmithing hub. At the workshop, a local master demonstrates traditional methods—how metal is shaped by hand, how designs are cut and refined. You'll then do the work yourself: heating, shaping and polishing a piece of jewellery. Expect to spend two to three hours on this hands-on portion. Afterwards, you'll visit Pura Puseh Batuan Temple to see how these crafts feature in Balinese spiritual practice. The pace is relaxed; there's no racing through steps.
Good to know
Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes for the temple. The workshop can get warm, but it's open-sided. Ten grams of silver and basic tools are provided. Your finished piece may need a few days to fully set, but you'll take it with you same day. Temple dress code requires shoulders and knees covered.
