What to expect

You'll arrive at Delodsema village, a settlement of about 60 families where silversmithing underpins the local economy. After coffee and a brief orientation, you'll sit with your teacher to sketch or select a design. Then comes the practical work: heating silver at the forge, shaping it by hand and tool, cutting, cleaning, and polishing until your piece is finished. Your teacher watches throughout, offering corrections and ensuring safety. The two-hour window moves quickly, so focus matters. You leave with your completed jewellery and a tangible link to the craftspeople who made it possible.
