About this tour
Learn silversmithing on Nusa Penida with a two-hour guided workshop where you'll hammer, shape, and polish your own piece from start to finish. You'll receive five grams of silver—enough for a ring, pendant, or modest bracelet—plus hotel transport and all tools. Walk away with a genuinely handmade keepsake rather than something plucked off a shelf, and pick up real skills in traditional Balinese metalwork along the way.
Highlights
- Shape and hammer silver into a wearable piece yourself
- Five grams of silver included; upgrade available on-site
- Hotel pick-up and drop-off within Nusa Penida area
- Learn techniques from a practising local artisan
- Take home a one-of-a-kind creation, not mass-produced jewellery
- Two-hour session, morning or afternoon slot
What to expect
You'll start with a rundown of each stage—measuring, shaping, hammering, finishing—then get hands-on with genuine tools at a proper workbench. Your instructor talks you through techniques without hovering; they're there to guide, not take over. Most people produce a simple ring or small pendant within the timeframe. The workshop sits in a quiet studio space. You'll handle hot metal briefly (nothing alarming), so expect minor heat and some noise from hammering. Coffee and water are provided; the whole experience feels unhurried.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting marked; silverwork leaves minor smudges. Long hair should be tied back. If you want something larger or more intricate than five grams allows, additional silver costs a modest amount—ask upfront. Not suitable if you have serious back problems or are pregnant.
