About this tour
Learn silver jewellery-making in Delodsema, a working village north of Ubud where smithing sustains most households. Over two hours, you'll work one-on-one with a local craftsperson to design and forge your own piece from start to finish—heating, shaping, cleaning, polishing—while supporting the artisans who've kept this tradition alive. Bring a sketch or create on the spot; the teachers will guide you safely through each step.
Highlights
- Design and forge your own silver jewellery piece
- Work directly with village smiths in their community
- Learn traditional techniques: heating, cutting, finishing
- Keep what you make; one design per person
- Coffee and water provided throughout
- Small village setting, only 60 families
What to expect
You'll arrive at a genuine working village where silver work sustains the local economy. Your teacher—a trained local craftsperson—will show you the basics and stay beside you throughout. You sketch a design or choose from existing ideas, then heat the silver, shape it with hand tools, file and clean the edges, and polish to finish. The process is hands-on but manageable for all fitness levels. Expect heat, focus, and the satisfaction of holding something you actually made. Tea or coffee keeps you going between stages.
Good to know
Silver above 4 grams incurs an additional charge (IDR 100,000 per gram). Gemstones cost extra (IDR 100k–500k). You cannot share your silver ration with other guests. Wear clothes you don't mind getting marked; the work is messy but not dangerous with proper guidance.
