Chez Monique Silver Smith Class, Ubud Are you struggling to find the best souvenir for your Bali trip? In Ubud, there's a small silver smith workshop situated at the back of a fairly hidden family compound that teaches guests to make their own silver jewelry and lets them keep it.
Chez Monique is a bit hard to find, but a taxi driver will know the way.
The class starts with you taking a look at several pictures of rings and pendants for inspiration and then drawing your design on paper, which will be transferred to silver by the silver smiths.
Next, you are taught how to fill, stamp and engrave your jewelry before it goes to the experts for the finishing touches.
For obvious reasons, they don't let beginners play around with the blowtorches, so please don't complain if they don't let you do everything.
If you're lucky, you'll be the only ones there so you can get all the attention you need from the teachers.
You can also call ahead to schedule classes.
