Bali Jewelry Workshop FAQ

This is an introductory jewelry-making experience for beginners who want to see how handmade jewelry is created, from melting silver to polishing the finished piece.

A professional Balinese silversmith guides you step by step and assists throughout. Their English may be limited, but they are experts in the craft.

Two translators and workshop leaders introduce themselves at the start of each session and move around the studio to translate and explain. They help everyone in the room rather than one guest one-on-one for the whole session.

If you want to learn the craft in more depth, we also offer a 6 to 12 hour Masterclass program on request.

Each participant receives up to 6 grams of silver, which is enough for one piece such as a ring, a pendant, or a pair of small earrings.

This keeps things fair for every guest and keeps sessions running on time. If you would like to make more than one piece, book an additional session or buy extra silver at IDR 85,000 per gram.

Up to 7 grams of brass for one design. Extra brass is available at IDR 45,000 per gram.

Brass is worked differently from silver: it takes more physical effort to shape and hammer, which makes it a slightly more hands-on experience.

You do the real steps of jewelry-making (melting, shaping, sanding, soldering, and polishing) but always with a silversmith beside you, so the piece is finished properly and safely.

Think of it as teamwork: you make the piece together, you learn the process, and you take home something you can honestly say you made.

Gold plating is a thin decorative layer that gives your piece a gold finish. It fades gradually with daily wear, frequent hand-washing, and contact with skin products.

Our Brass Jewelry Workshop includes free gold plating. For the silver classes it is available as an optional add-on. Once the gold tone fades, you can polish the piece to bring back the metal's own shine.

Yes. Brass discolors over time with everyday wear and is not as water-resistant as silver. That is the nature of the material and part of why it is the more affordable option.

You can restore the shine at home with Brasso or any ordinary metal polish from a hardware store.

The Gold Class is a 4-hour premium class for guests who want to work in solid 14K gold instead of silver. The listed price of IDR 9,725,000 covers 5 grams of 14K gold; extra gold is IDR 1,625,000 per gram.

Because the gold rate changes daily, the class is arranged on request and the final price is confirmed at the time of booking. Message us on WhatsApp to discuss your design and gold preference.

We are at Jl. Merta Agung, Kerobokan, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali 80361, a short drive from Canggu and Seminyak. The studio is open every day from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM (WITA), with class start times from 09:00 to 19:30.

Map and directions are on the contact page.

Choose a workshop, date, start time, and number of participants on the booking page, then send the pre-filled message on WhatsApp. We confirm your slot within 24 hours, usually much sooner.

You can book from 1 to 30 days in advance. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the class.

Please arrive on time for your scheduled class. Traffic around Canggu and Seminyak can be slow, so we suggest leaving early.

Late arrivals affect the other guests in the session, and we always prioritize those who arrive at their booked time.

Yes. We prefer cash in IDR because it is simpler for our local team, but card payment is available with a small service charge. Bank transfer and QRIS are also accepted.

Comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a little dusty, closed shoes if you have them, and your phone or camera if you want to record the process. Everything else, including tools, materials, and drinking water, is provided. Smoking is not allowed in the studio.

This is a cultural and creative experience, not a full technical course. You leave with a better understanding of traditional Balinese silverwork and a piece of jewelry you made yourself, guided by working artisans.
