OUR STORY

The Story Behind Basunjaya Ubud Silver

Ubud Silver Class began with a simple idea: let travelers do more than watch Bali’s silversmithing tradition from behind glass — let them sit at the bench and take part in it.

WHERE IT STARTED

A Balinese craft, passed through generations of hands

Bali’s silversmithing tradition runs deep, rooted in villages like Celuk where silver has been worked by hand for generations. Ubud Silver Class was built on that same lineage — a small workshop just off Jalan Suweta where that craft is taught one guest at a time.

We’re not a factory tour. Every class is a real jewelry-making session: you choose a design, melt raw silver over an open flame, hammer and shape it into form, then file and polish it until it’s ready to wear. It’s slow, hands-on, and entirely yours.

What started as a small studio for curious travelers has grown into one of Ubud’s most requested creative experiences — but the bench, the tools, and the one-on-one guidance have stayed exactly the same.

 

MEET THE BENCH

The silversmiths who'll guide you

Every class is led one-on-one by a craftsperson who has spent years at this bench — not a rehearsed demo, but real guidance from someone who knows the metal.
