A silver ring you made yourself beats another souvenir magnet every time. This Ubud class is a hands-on workshop in a real silversmithing village, where you shape, cut, and finish your own design with help from local instructors. I also love that the class includes 7 grams of silver (enough to create a meaningful piece), plus a simple start with tea/coffee and snacks before you sketch your idea.

The only real consideration: it’s a rural workshop, so you may want to plan for mosquitoes and wear something you don’t mind getting a little dusty.

Key highlights worth planning for

• Village workshop in Delodsema: the setting feels less like a showroom and more like where the craft actually happens
• 7g of silver included: you’re not just paying for instruction, you’re paying for materials
• Choose a design and get real guidance: instructors help you sketch and adjust ideas so the final piece actually fits your vision
• Small-group vibe (max 20): you can get individual attention and see what others are making
• Multiple jewelry options: rings are popular, but you can often choose pendants, bangles, or earrings
• Extra add-ons for a full day: cooking class, ATV/quad, retro VW Safari, and sightseeing can be paired before/after

Ubud Silver Class in Delodsema: how the workshop really works

Ubud gets plenty of craft tours, but this one is built around the actual making. You head to Delodsema (near Taro in Tegallalang), where the silversmithing work happens in a workshop setting. The class starts with ideas, samples, and basic guidance, then moves into practical tools and techniques you can use right away.

What you’re really buying is not a sales pitch—it’s a chance to leave with a piece that has your fingerprint on it. I like that the instructors push you from first sketch toward a finished result, and they’re patient if you’re starting from zero. Many people end up wearing their ring daily, because it’s personal, not store-bought.

One more reason this format works: silver jewelry making has stages—measuring, shaping, soldering/finishing, and cleanup—and the workshop pace lets you experience those steps instead of just watching.

Getting there from Ubud: pickup, drive time, and where the class starts

The meeting point is GBE Silver Class, Delodsema (Jl. Taman Gajah, Taro, Kec. Tegallalang, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80561). If you’ve booked a class that includes pickup from your Ubud-area address, a driver will collect you and bring you to the workshop.

Do consider the location when you plan your day. Reviews describe the drive from Ubud as roughly 40 minutes, and the workshop area is more rural than Ubud center. That matters for two reasons: Grab rides can be less convenient out there, and you’ll want to wear bug-friendly clothing since it’s not a fully enclosed venue.

If you choose no pickup, your schedule is simpler: you go to the meeting point, and at the end the activity ends back at the meeting point.

Arriving: tea, snacks, and choosing a design that fits your time

Classes start with a welcome drink—tea or coffee—and Balinese snacks. After that, the instructor shows jewelry samples for inspiration. This part sounds small, but it sets you up fast. If you’ve never made jewelry before, samples help you understand what’s possible with the included silver and time.

You’ll then pick a direction for your piece. If you already have an idea, you’ll sketch it out with the instructor and get help turning the concept into something workable. If you don’t, you can build from a sample design you like.

Two details I think are worth knowing:

• The workshop staff will help you adjust your design if it’s too ambitious for the time and materials.
• The class is hands-on enough that you’ll learn the process, not just finish a pre-made item.

Also, if you have diet needs, advise it at booking. Snacks are part of the start, so it’s better to handle that early.

Inside the workshop: tools, techniques, and how your silver becomes jewelry

Once you choose your design, you’ll work with a silversmith using techniques like hammering and soldering, plus finishing steps such as engraving and cutting. Even if you’re nervous at the start, the workshop approach is guided: you’re not left alone with a hot torch and a vague plan.

In practice, the best part is that you can usually make more than one item, depending on how much silver you use. The package includes 7 grams, and the staff help you manage that so you don’t run out halfway through.

People often choose rings because they’re easier to visualize and wear every day. But you may have options like pendants, bangles, or earrings, depending on what fits within your silver amount and the course flow. The key is that the instructors steer you toward something you can actually complete.

One more useful reality check: ring-making is harder than it looks. Getting the size right and the shape smooth takes patience. That’s where the instructor support pays off.

The included 7 grams: value math and what costs extra

Your tour price is $36.66 per person, and it includes:

• Welcome drink
• 7 grams of silver
• Experienced instructor / local expert
• Ability to make multiple jewelry pieces as long as your silver amount holds out

That’s the core value. Many craft workshops charge for instruction but then sell you materials later. Here, you already have silver to work with, so you’re paying for both learning and a real take-home outcome.

Now, what can cost extra:

• Gemstones: the information provided says there’s an additional charge if you want to use gemstones.
• Extra silver: additional silver is priced at 80k per gram if you need more.

So if you love the idea of a simple, clean silver ring, you’re likely to stay within the base package. If you want stones or you’re aiming for multiple pieces, it’s smart to plan your design choices around the 7 grams included.

How long it takes: 3 hours on the schedule, with faster paths if chosen

The tour duration is listed as about 3 hours. In the real world, some people take a shorter session (one review mentions a 1.5-hour option and still completing a piece). If your schedule is tight, that shorter format might be the better fit—but expect less time to refine details.

My advice: if you want a more complex design, assume you’ll need every minute. If you’re okay with a simpler ring or pendant, the workshop usually feels doable and fun rather than rushed.

Pair it with the rest of your Ubud day: upgrades that fit your pace

This class can be paired with other activities. Options mentioned include:

• ATV / quad bike tour
• Cooking class
• Village visit
• Sightseeing tour
• Retro Volkswagen Safari

These add-ons may happen before or after your silversmithing session, depending on what you book. If you like a full day, this combo can work well because silversmithing is indoor/controlled and the outdoor tours are better earlier or later when you don’t have to worry about timing tools.

A smart way to plan: pair silversmithing with something that matches your energy level. Want action? Add ATV. Want local flavors? Add cooking. Want scenic drives and photos? Add retro VW Safari. You’ll also see how the workshop team can handle a day that includes multiple stops.

The people and the small details that make it feel worth it

The standout theme across strong reviews is attention to detail and patient coaching. In different classes, instructors and staff names mentioned include Wawam, Aldi, WaWan, Pepi, and others. Drivers referenced include Olen and Budi—both described as helpful and knowledgeable. Even when people were there with no prior experience, they still felt guided step-by-step.

A couple practical, on-the-ground points that matter:

• In a rural workshop, plan for mosquitoes. One review specifically notes that bug spray was available.
• Expect a close working relationship. One review describes a setup with about one staff member per person, which is exactly what you want for fitting rings and getting proportions right.
• The workshop supports you with the process, and they’ll help you keep going if something doesn’t come out perfect the first time.

This is why the class earns such a high satisfaction rate: the finished jewelry isn’t just a product, it’s tied to the instruction quality.

Who should book this silver class near Ubud

This is a great fit if:

• You want a meaningful Bali souvenir you can actually wear
• You like hands-on activities, even if you’ve never tried jewelry making
• You’re traveling with a partner and want something shared but creative (matching rings can be a hit)
• You value small-group attention in a craft workshop setting

You might skip it if:

• You only want a quick photo stop and don’t want to spend time shaping/finishing metal
• You plan to use multiple gemstones or add many pieces without budgeting extra for additional silver

It’s also a solid choice for couples celebrating an anniversary or milestone, because the jewelry becomes part of the story you’ll remember when it’s on your hand.

Booking vibe: prebooking helps you match your schedule

Prebooking is recommended so you can lock in a class time that works. Confirmation is received at booking, so you’re not left guessing what time your workshop starts.

If your schedule is flexible, you can also look at the add-ons to create a balanced day around the class. Just keep in mind that you want enough time at the start so you can sketch calmly and not feel rushed.

Should you book the Ubud Silver Class?

I’d book it if you want a take-home item with real craftsmanship and personal value. For the price, you get materials (7 grams of silver) plus guided work using core silversmith techniques, and you’ll leave with something you can wear instead of another generic memento.

I’d hesitate only if you’re very budget-tight for extras (gemstones) or you want very elaborate designs without adding extra silver. For most people, though, the workshop approach makes it feel approachable, fun, and genuinely memorable.

If your ideal Bali day includes hands-on creativity—and you like the idea of learning how silver actually becomes jewelry—this is a strong choice near Ubud.
