What to expect
You'll arrive at a working silver studio in Sidemen village and meet the artisans who run it. After a brief introduction to tools and techniques, you'll begin shaping your own silver. The craftspeople guide your hands as you work—filing, forming, and finishing. It's hands-on rather than passive; expect to get stuck in and actually make something. The pace is relaxed; there's no rush. By the end, you'll have a wearable piece of jewellery you've made yourself, plus a clearer sense of the skill behind village metalwork.
Good to know
Located in rural Sidemen, so arrange your own transport or use local taxis and ride-share services. Bring an apron or wear clothes you don't mind getting marked. Children are welcome, though very small ones may need to sit with an adult. No snacks provided beyond tea and coffee.
