Choose Your Design
Start by deciding what you would like to make. Rings are a popular choice, but the design can be adapted according to the available options and the amount of silver included in your workshop.
See what happens inside our hands-on silver jewelry workshop in Ubud — from choosing a design and shaping the silver to refining, polishing, and taking home something you made yourself.
A silver jewelry workshop is different from simply buying a souvenir. During the experience, you work with silver and traditional jewelry-making tools while being guided through the main stages of the process.
Your finished piece doesn't have to look exactly like something from a jewelry shop. The small marks, decisions, and details are part of what makes it yours.
The exact sequence can vary depending on the jewelry you choose to make, but the experience generally moves through these stages.
Start by deciding what you would like to make. Rings are a popular choice, but the design can be adapted according to the available options and the amount of silver included in your workshop.
The silver is prepared before it can become the shape you have in mind. Depending on the piece, this can involve heating and working the metal so it becomes suitable for the next stage.
This is where the silver starts becoming recognizable. You may hammer, bend, shape, or work the material using traditional jewelry-making tools under the guidance of the workshop team.
Some designs require pieces of silver to be joined together. The workshop team helps with the more technical parts while you continue to be involved in shaping and refining your piece.
Once the main shape is complete, the surface is carefully refined. Edges are smoothed and rough areas are worked down so the jewelry becomes comfortable to wear.
The final stage brings out the character of the silver. Your piece is polished and finished before you get to see the result of the work you have just completed.
You can come with an idea already in mind or choose from designs and examples available at the workshop. The goal is to create something that feels personal rather than simply picking a finished item from a shelf.
You will be working with real tools and real materials, not simply watching a demonstration from a distance.
The atmosphere is informal and hands-on. You can ask questions, watch how a particular technique is done, and then try it yourself with guidance from the workshop team.
After the shaping, refining, sanding, and polishing, you finally get to see the finished piece. Every piece carries a little bit of the experience that created it.
Turn a simple piece of silver into something you can actually wear after your Bali trip.
Your jewelry can reflect your own idea, style, memory, or inspiration from your time in Bali.
Instead of another generic souvenir, you leave with a piece connected to an experience you were part of.
Our regular workshop is designed as a shared class. If your group has fewer than 10 people, particularly during high season, other travelers may join the same session.
This is part of what makes the workshop relaxed and social. If you specifically need an exclusive or private session, please contact us before booking so we can discuss the available options.
The workshop is suitable for travelers who want to experience something creative and hands-on while staying in Ubud.
