About this tour
Learn silversmithing directly from craftspeople trained in the tradition, creating a piece of jewellery to take home. Based in Bali, this hands-on session runs 1–4 hours depending on your design ambition. You'll work with 5 grams of silver and proper tools under guided instruction, transported to and from your accommodation. A genuine introduction to the metalwork that defines Balinese jewellery-making rather than a rushed tourist activity.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel and driven to the workshop. After a brief orientation to tools and techniques, you'll sketch or discuss your design with the instructor. The hands-on work—shaping, hammering, finishing—takes the bulk of your time. Expect to focus intently; jewellery-making demands precision rather than speed. The instructor will guide your hands through key steps, but the piece is genuinely yours. By the end, you'll have a wearable result and a clearer sense of the skill involved in what you might've assumed was mass-produced.
Good to know
Bring no jewellery you're worried about damaging. Wear clothes you don't mind getting marked. The workshop is cool but can be dusty. Lunch isn't included; eat before or after. Prams and strollers are welcome, though the workspace itself is compact.
