About this tour
Learn silversmithing in a working family workshop run by experienced Balinese craftspeople with 15+ years' experience. Over three hours in Ubud, you'll shape your own jewellery while your instructors share stories about traditional metalwork, local culture, and Balinese philosophy. Each participant gets 7 grams of silver to work with, plus a welcome drink. The workshop exists because a guest asked—and the silversmiths wanted to pass on their knowledge properly.
Highlights
- Shape your own silver rings, bracelets, or pendants with guidance
- Work inside an active family workshop with professional craftspeople
- Hear about Balinese traditions and house philosophy directly from locals
- Make multiple pieces if your silver allowance permits
- Welcome drink included; several instructors speak fluent English
What to expect
You'll arrive at a functioning silversmith workshop—not a tourist studio. After a welcome drink, an instructor will show you the tools and basic techniques, then guide you through designing and hand-forming your piece. The work is hands-on: filing, shaping, soldering, finishing. Expect to concentrate for the full three hours. Between your own work, instructors will chat about how silver has been worked in Bali for generations, family traditions, and what daily life looks like here. If you finish early or want to make a second piece, you can continue as long as your silver holds out.
Good to know
Seven grams of silver is included; extra costs 80,000 rupiah per gram. Gemstones aren't included but can be added for extra charge. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Mention any dietary requirements at booking.
