Silver jewelry classes beat souvenirs you buy in a hurry. This one takes place in Ceking rice terraces north of Ubud, where you design and finish your own piece with a family team. I like that it feels personal and hands-on, not like a demo you watch from the sidelines.

Two things I especially like: you get 5 grams of pure silver included, and the class stays small (max 5 travelers) so you get real guidance. One thing to consider: casting isn’t included, so if you want a complex style, you’ll likely rely on their help and you may need extra silver.

What makes it special (and what to watch for)

The workshop is run by a native Balinese husband-and-wife team, and the teaching style is patient and practical. In the class I’m recommending here, you’ll create items like rings, earrings, pendants, or bangles, using manual carving and finishing steps—while they handle the parts of the process they do for you.

Your main “watch item” is time and materials: the session is about 1.5 to 2 hours, and if you run longer there’s an additional fee. Extra silver is available at an IDR rate if your design needs more than the included amount.

Quick Takes: what you’ll notice right away

• Ceking rice terraces location: it’s right by a famous viewpoint area, so it’s easy to pair with sightseeing
• Small group size (max 5): you’ll get more one-on-one than the big-class model
• 5 grams of pure silver included: enough to make a meaningful, wearable souvenir
• You design your own piece: bring a photo or sketch idea and shape it with guidance
• Casting not included: expect assistance on certain steps, especially for more complex designs
• Extras cost money: gemstones, additional silver (IDR 80,000 per gram), and longer class time (IDR 75,000) can add up

A Small-Group Silver Class in Ceking Rice Terraces

If you’re doing Ubud for crafts, culture, and good food, a silver class is a great choice because it’s active. You’re not just looking at talent—you’re learning steps with your hands, then taking home an object that still feels like a Bali memory.

This is set up in Ceking, north of central Ubud, and it’s close to places you’ll already want to visit. The class location is on Jl. Raya Tegallalang, Tegallalang, and you don’t need a shuttle. In practice, you’ll be using local ride-hail taxis like Gojek or Grab to get there, then you go straight back to where you started when the session ends. That makes it easy to squeeze into a day without reshuffling your whole itinerary.

The other big plus is the scale. With a maximum of 5 travelers, you won’t feel rushed or swallowed by a crowd. Multiple daily class times are offered too, which matters because Ubud traffic and weather can turn your plans into a game of Tetris.

What You’ll Make: rings, earrings, bangles, and the 5-gram limit

The included material is clear and that helps you plan: you receive 5 grams of pure silver. You can use it to create pieces like rings, earrings, pendants, and bracelets/bangles, depending on what your design requires and what shape the craft process allows in the time you have.

Here’s the value part: 5 grams is enough for a keepsake that feels real. If you come in thinking, I want something simple and wearable, you’re in a good spot. If you come in thinking, I want a heavy, highly detailed statement piece with lots of stone and a thick band, you may need more silver and more time.

Extras are available:

• Extra silver costs IDR 80,000 per additional gram
• Gemstones are sold for an additional fee
• If you go beyond the normal session length (it’s listed around 1.5 to 2 hours), there’s an IDR 75,000 additional fee

A helpful way to think about it: the class is built for learning and finishing in one sitting. You’ll get the best results when your design matches that reality.

Inside the Workshop: what the class feels like

The tone here is family-style and practical. The people running the class explain that they opened their business to support their family and community in their village, and they set aside profits for community management. You’ll feel that in how they talk to you—less salesy, more instructional.

You’ll start with a welcome and be settled in with local snacks and bottled water. Free Wi‑Fi is also included, which is useful if you want to check a reference photo or message home later.

From there, the session is about turning your idea into something you can actually take home:

• You’ll work with guidance from the instructors who have years of experience making pure silver jewelry
• You’ll design the piece you want, and they help you shape it into a style that works
• They teach the guide to making silver jewelry
• You’ll do a lot of the manual work yourself—especially carving and basic forming/finishing steps—so it doesn’t feel like you’re just supervising

One detail that matters: you can create your own design except the casting process. That means if your design requires casting, they handle that part. It’s not a problem, but it changes your expectations. You’re learning how the craft is done and how it comes together, not doing every industrial step start-to-finish like a full production studio.

The couple’s roles show up clearly. Names you may hear include Kedak and Komang. Both are described as patient instructors who guide you step by step so your final ring or piece looks polished. And yes, there can be a family atmosphere beyond the adults—one of the notes mentions their daughter, which adds to the warm, grounded feel.

The crafting steps: what you’ll learn without getting lost

You don’t need to be an artist. The teaching is geared toward first-timers. In a class like this, the “secret” is that small steps add up. You’ll likely cover the essentials of shaping, carving, and refining your piece so it looks intentional rather than homemade in a bad way.

Think of the learning goal as two parts:

1. You learn the workflow: how you go from idea → silver piece → finished jewelry.
2. You learn finishing: the parts that make it look clean when you wear it.

This is where a small group pays off. With only a few people, you can ask questions and get quick corrections. People also note that the guidance keeps you from feeling stuck halfway through, which is common in hands-on workshops when the group is too big.

If you’re bringing inspiration, it helps to come with:

• A clear photo of the style you like
• A sense of where you want it worn (daily ring vs special pendant, etc.)
• Realistic expectations for thickness and detail based on time

Location and timing: pairing it with a Ceking day

You’ll find this class is easy to build into a day north of Ubud. The workshop is located by the rice terraces area, and it’s described as across from the terraces. That’s great because it turns the class into part of a half-day flow instead of a “get there, sit, leave” chore.

A common smart plan looks like this:

• Arrive with enough time to settle in and start on your design without rushing
• Do the class around a time when you’re not fighting hunger or heat
• After the session, walk to the terraces viewpoint area if you want photos and a breather

Because there’s no shuttle, you’ll want to account for ride-hail time and any small delays. The good news is that Ubud-area ride-hailing is generally straightforward, and you’ll be going to a specific street address rather than an unclear drop-off.

Duration is listed as about 2 hours (approx.), with the class timeframe noted as 1.5 to 2 hours. If you want more time to refine your design, plan for the possibility that longer work could mean extra fees.

Price and value: is $30.56 a good deal?

On paper, $30.56 sounds easy to compare. The better question is: what does that price buy in a way that matters for you?

Here’s what’s included:

• 5 grams of pure silver
• A jewelry-making guide
• Snacks and bottled water
• Free Wi‑Fi
• A small-group setting (max 5 travelers)

Then what might cost extra:

• Extra silver at IDR 80,000 per gram
• Gemstones (additional fee)
• Longer class time beyond the normal session (IDR 75,000)
• Shuttle is not included

So the real value equation is this: if you want a meaningful piece of wearable jewelry and you’re okay with a class that’s focused on learning + finishing within a set timeframe, the price is very reasonable. If you want a very intricate design that needs more silver and more time, the final cost can creep upward.

The practical tip: decide your target piece before you arrive. If you’re flexible—say, you’re open to making a ring vs a pendant depending on what fits the silver amount—you’ll leave feeling like you maximized the inclusions.

Who this class suits best (and who should think twice)

This class is a great match if:

• You want an authentic Bali craft experience you can wear later
• You like small groups and direct instruction
• You want to make a real souvenir with pure silver, not just a quick craft kit
• You’re visiting Ubud and want a class you can pair with nearby sights like the terraces

You might think twice if:

• You want every step of silversmithing, including casting, to be fully hands-on for you
• You’re aiming for extremely elaborate, heavy designs and expect the included silver to cover it
• You have a tight schedule where an additional 75,000 IDR for longer time would create stress

That said, the class is designed so most people can participate. The overall vibe is supportive and beginner-friendly, and the teaching style is built to get a finished piece you’re happy to take home.

A fair note on expectations: jewelry-making takes patience

Silver work rewards steady focus. Even if you’re excited, you’ll still want to move slowly when you’re carving and finishing. That’s also why small groups matter: you can pause, ask for help, and keep your design on track.

One more expectation-setting tip: bring a design that looks good in a simple silhouette. Detailed patterns are fun, but the time you have should guide what level of detail you choose. If you’re unsure, show your inspiration photo and ask what they can realistically finish with the 5 grams and the time window.

Should You Book Ondox Silver Class and Jewelry Ubud?

I’d book it if you want a hands-on Bali craft that results in something you’ll actually wear, and you like the idea of working in a small group with instructors who guide you step by step. The combination of pure silver (5 grams), a family-run studio, and the Ceking rice terrace location is a strong value formula.

I’d skip or adjust expectations if your design needs lots of extra materials or if casting is a must be fully hands-on for you. If you keep your idea realistic and come with a photo, you’ll likely leave with a piece that feels personal, not generic.
