Ubud Silver Artistry Class: Create Unique Jewelry in Bali

About this tour

Work with Balinese silversmiths in Ubud to forge your own jewellery piece. Over one to eight hours, you'll learn traditional metalworking techniques—heating, shaping, finishing—using professional tools and up to five grams of fine silver. No experience needed. You'll leave with a wearable piece you've made yourself and a clearer sense of the craft that defines this artistic town.

Highlights

• Forge a silver ring or pendant under artisan supervision
• Use authentic torches, hammers, saws in working studio
• Learn heating and hand-shaping techniques step by step
• Five grams of silver included; buy more onsite if needed
• Walk away with finished jewellery you've crafted
• English-speaking guide explains each stage
• Bottled water provided throughout session

What to expect

You'll arrive at the workshop and meet your guide, who'll walk you through the process in plain terms. The artisan will demonstrate heating silver to workable temperature, then guide your hands as you shape it—bending, hammering, smoothing. Expect the work to be hands-on and tactile; your arms will tire a bit, but the pace suits all fitness levels. By the end, you'll have a recognisable piece: rough perhaps, but genuinely yours. The studio is casual, not a polished studio setup, and conversation with the craftspeople reveals how they approach design and durability.
