Uluwatu Bali Silver Jewelry Making Class

About this tour

Spend two hours in Uluwatu learning silversmithing from local craftspeople. You'll work with 5-7 grams of pure Indonesian silver to fashion a ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, discovering techniques passed down through generations in this coastal village. The class covers hand-forging, shaping, sanding and polishing—skills that transform raw metal into wearable art. You'll leave with your finished piece and a genuine understanding of the craft behind Bali's jewellery heritage.

Highlights

• Hand-forge and shape silver under craftsperson guidance
• Learn traditional Uluwatu metalworking methods and history
• Polish and finish your own ring, earrings, or pendant
• Take home 5–7 grams of Indonesian silver as jewellery
• Work in a creative studio workshop with English instruction
• Discover generations-old techniques still used locally

What to expect

You'll start with an introduction to Uluwatu's silversmithing heritage, then move straight to the workbench. Your instructor demonstrates basic techniques: heating, hammering, shaping and joining silver. You pick your piece—earrings, ring or pendant—and follow along, working at your own pace. The metal gets warm but manageable; you'll sand and polish until it gleams. Expect your hands to do the work; this isn't passive observation. By the end, you have a tangible object you made yourself, not a generic souvenir.

Good to know

Wear clothes you don't mind getting dusty; silver polish and fine filings are messy. The workshop gets warm during metalwork. Pregnant travellers, those with spinal issues or cardiovascular concerns should check with their doctor first. Public transport is nearby if you need it. Bring water and wear closed-toe shoes.
