Silver jewelry, made in rice-terrace air. This small-class setup in Ceking north of Ubud is interesting because you craft something personal, piece by piece, with Balinese artisans running the show. I especially like the small-group feel (max 5), where instructions are patient and you get real hands-on help. I also like the fact you leave with a finished souvenir made from pure silver, not just a demo you watch.

One thing to plan for is logistics. There’s no shuttle included, so you’ll want your own ride to reach Jl. Raya Tegallalang in Tegallalang, using options like GoJek or Grab.

Key highlights to know before you go

• Ceking rice terraces location: class is right by the terraces, so you can pair it with a quick visit before or after
• Max 5 travelers: a small group means more hands-on attention
• Design your own piece: rings, earrings, pendants, bracelets, and more, with guidance from the makers
• Pure silver included: you receive silver for your piece, with add-ons available if you want more
• Casting is not your job: you can create your design, but the casting process is excluded
• Snacks, water, and Wi-Fi: included to keep you comfortable while you work

Ceking rice terraces: why this silver class feels different

Ubud has plenty of activities, but this one takes you a little north to Ceking rice terraces. That matters more than you might think. You’re not stuck in a busy strip. You’re working in a calmer place, surrounded by greenery, and the whole experience feels more like “learn a craft with a local family” than “buy a factory-made souvenir.”

The class location is also practical. The studio is in the Tegallalang area at Jl. Raya Tegallalang, and it’s easy to reach by taxi apps. Once you finish, you can often walk around the area or head back toward nearby sights while the morning or afternoon is still yours.

Meet the Ondox team and how the class flows

Ondox Silver Class and Jewelry is run as a family business. The vibe is warm and straightforward, and you’ll get a welcome from the hosts, with complimentary snacks and bottled water as you settle in. The class is taught by native Balinese silver craftsmen, and the instruction is built around what you want to make.

Two names that come up often are Kedak and Komang. They’re the kind of teachers who slow down when needed, show each step clearly, and then help you correct details so your piece looks right at the end.

Here’s what the typical flow feels like:

• You arrive and talk through what kind of jewelry you want, often with help choosing a workable design.
• You start shaping your piece using manual techniques, guided by the artisans.
• As you go, they provide support so you can actually finish something you’ll wear.
• You then complete and finish your piece to take home.

The class is small, capped at five travelers, so you’re not competing for attention. In a craft class, that’s the difference between “I watched, good luck” and “I actually made something.”

Timing is also flexible. There are multiple class times in the day, which helps if you’re juggling temples, waterfalls, or a scooter day. The class runs about 1.5 to 2 hours, and the experience is listed as approximately 2 hours overall.

What you make: designs, silver grams, and the casting note

This is a hands-on silver jewelry class where you create and finish your own design. The range of items you can make includes rings, earrings, pendants, bracelets, and other jewelry shapes, depending on what fits the session.

The biggest “reality check” topic is the silver amount and what parts you personally handle:

• The included amount is listed as 5 grams of pure silver.
• Some participants mention receiving 6 grams, and those extra grams can affect how much metal they have to form smaller pieces like multiple rings.

Because of that, think of this class as “a real craft session,” not a pre-set factory plan. If you want a very detailed design, you may need more guidance and possibly more silver.

Then there’s the casting process. The class explicitly says you can create your design except the casting process. In plain terms, you’re not expected to do every technical step yourself. The goal is that you leave with a finished wearable piece, guided through the steps that make sense for your skill level in that time slot.

From a traveler perspective, this matters because it lowers the learning curve. You can focus on shaping, detailing, and finishing your piece, while the makers handle the specialist parts you’re not able to do solo in a short session.

Costs that matter: included silver vs. extra grams and gemstones

The price is listed at $30.56 per person, and the class is about two hours. That’s a reasonable rate for a small-group craft experience where you leave with a piece you designed yourself.

But the value depends on what you want to make and how ambitious your design is. This is where the add-on pricing matters.

Included for your piece:

• Pure silver (listed as 5 grams)
• Snacks and bottled water
• Free Wi-Fi
• A guide to making silver jewelry
• Time listed as 1.5 to 2 hours

Optional add-ons:

• Extra silver: IDR 80,000 per 1 gram
• Gemstones: sold for an additional fee (local gemstones are offered)
• If the class runs longer than the standard time: additional fee of IDR 75,000 if more time is needed

A smart way to plan is to decide ahead of time which is your priority:

• If you mainly want the experience and a beautiful keepsake, the included silver is usually the right path.
• If you’re aiming for a larger, thicker, or more detailed piece, you may end up adding silver or selecting gemstones.

Also, remember that gemstones are optional. The class offers local stones for purchase, but you’re not forced into spending more. Choose based on your taste, not on pressure.

Logistics in Tegallalang: getting there and pairing the timing

Because there’s no shuttle, you’ll want to use local ride apps. The class area is in Tegallalang, near public transport, and it’s easy to arrange pickup on your side. The practical suggestion is to use online taxis like GoJek or Grab so you control the timing.

This is one of the best parts of choosing this location. Since it’s near popular sites, you can build a simple mini-day:

• Go to the rice terraces area
• Do the jewelry class while you’re already in that part of town
• Return to Ubud when you feel done

And the location is especially handy if you want a quick visual payoff after your work. The class sits across from the rice terraces area, so the setting is part of the memory, not just the background.

One more small tip: arrive a bit early if you can. With a craft class, you want time to settle in, look at options, and talk through your design before you start moving hands and tools.

Small group attention: what to expect from the teaching style

The strongest praise points here are about people and process. The class is described as a small family class, and the teaching style is patient and practical, not showy.

What you can count on:

• The artisans guide you through each step clearly.
• You get help so your ring or pendant comes out looking intentional.
• You’re able to participate a lot, not just stand back.

A detail that helps: if you come in with a design idea, often even from phone inspiration, you’re more likely to get a result that matches your vision. Bring a few reference photos so you can choose quickly. Even if your design is more contemporary or different from what you see around you, the makers help shape it into a workable style for the time and metal you have.

Language is usually not a major barrier. Instruction is simple and friendly, and the atmosphere is supportive for different learning speeds.

Who should book this silver jewelry class in Ubud

This is a great fit if you want:

• A hands-on Bali craft experience that results in a wearable keepsake
• A quieter setting than the busiest parts of central Ubud
• A small class where you get real guidance
• A chance to design your own ring, earrings, or pendant

It’s also a good choice if you’re traveling with someone and you both want a shared activity. The class limit helps the experience feel personal, and it becomes a fun “we made this” moment you’ll remember later.

Who should think twice:

• If you specifically want to handle every technical step yourself, note that the casting process is not included. This is more “learn and make your piece with help” than “full independent silversmithing.”
• If you need hotel pickup or a fully managed transport plan, this one is on you. No shuttle is included, and you’ll rely on your own ride.

Should you book Ondox Silver Class and Jewelry in Ubud?

If you want a real souvenir with meaning, this is an easy yes. The combination of small-group attention, a craft taught by local silversmiths, and the fact that you design and take home your own piece makes it feel like one of those experiences you can still see on your hand weeks later.

Book it if:

• You want a practical activity during your Ubud days
• You enjoy making something with your own hands, even if you’re a total beginner

Skip it if:

• You dislike DIY-style workshops and prefer pure sightseeing
