About this tour
Spend two hours in an Ubud workshop learning metalcraft from experienced silversmiths. You'll hammer, shape, and polish Indonesian silver into a finished piece—earrings, ring, or pendant—that's yours to take away. The class covers Ubud's long tradition of jewellery-making and walks you through each step, from blank metal to polished object. No prior experience needed.
Highlights
- Shape and polish your own silver piece to wear
- Discover Ubud's heritage of metalwork traditions
- Work one-on-one with practising craftspeople
- Use 5-7 grams of pure Indonesian silver
- Leave with a finished, wearable creation
- No skills or tools required beforehand
What to expect
You'll arrive at a working studio in central Ubud and meet your instructor, who'll demonstrate the basic techniques: filing, shaping, sanding, and polishing. Then you pick your project—a pair of earrings, a simple ring, or a pendant—and start with a cut length of silver. Your hands do the work under gentle guidance; expect to file and shape the metal, then spend time on the finishing stages until it catches the light properly. By the end, you'll have something tactile and genuinely made by you.
Good to know
The class involves repetitive hand motions and standing at a bench; not suitable for spinal injuries or serious heart conditions. Pregnant travellers should check with organisers first. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dusty. Bring sunscreen if sensitive, as the studio may have natural light.
