About this tour
Learn to craft your own silver ring or pendant in Ubud's central workshop, guided by experienced metalworkers through the full process from design to polish. Working in a cool, comfortable studio within walking distance of the Monkey Forest and Art Market, you'll melt, shape, solder and finish a piece of jewellery to take home. Sessions run 1–3 hours depending on complexity, with all tools and materials supplied.
Highlights
- Melt and hand-form silver from raw bar to finished ring
- Learn soldering, sanding and polishing techniques
- Keep your completed piece (1–5 grams included)
- One-to-one guidance from practising silversmiths
- Cool workshop five minutes from Ubud's main sites
- Snacks and water included throughout
What to expect
Expect a hands-on session where you'll handle hot metal and power tools under close supervision. After sketching your design, you'll watch silver melt in a crucible, then take over to hammer and roll it to thickness. Soldering comes next—the trickiest step—followed by filing and polishing until the metal gleams. Novices and experienced makers work at their own pace; complexity determines whether you'll finish in 90 minutes or three hours. The workshop is climate-controlled and wheelchair accessible, though pregnant travellers should skip this one.
Good to know
Your finished piece weighs up to 5 grams (included in the fee); extra silver costs 85,000 IDR per gram. You can't split silver weight with others. Allow extra time if you're adding intricate details. The studio sits near public transport and taxis; shuttle services aren't provided but easily booked separately.
