Turn scrap silver into your souvenir. I love the small family class feel and the hands-on silver ring you create in Ceking, north of Ubud, with snacks and bottled water included. One thing to plan for: the class info says the casting process is not included, so your final piece is built through the steps they teach.

The workshop sits at Jl. Raya Tegallalang, Tegallalang and it is easy to reach by taxi apps like Grab or Gojek, since there is no shuttle. It is also very easy to pair with a short stop at the rice terraces right nearby.

You get flexible timing too. The lesson runs about 1.5 to 2 hours, in a small group (up to 5 people), and you can choose rings, earrings, pendants, bracelets, or similar designs. If you want to take longer than the standard class window, there is an extra fee.

Key things to know before you go

• Small group size (max 5): more direct help while you design and work.
• You keep the silver: your class includes pure silver by weight.
• Ceking rice terraces location: you can combine the workshop with sightseeing after.
• Casting process is not included: you will do the teachable parts with their guidance.
• Extra silver and gemstones are available: you can upgrade your piece if you want more materials.

Ondox Silver Class and Jewelry, Ubud, in Ceking rice-terrace country

This is a hands-on silver jewelry class run by a family workshop area north of Ubud, in Ceking. The setting is part of the appeal because you are close enough to turn the class into a mini half-day: make your jewelry, then walk around outside after.

I like that the hosts present it as family business, not just a factory tour. They welcome you like you belong there, and the mood stays calm and focused on the work in front of you. The class is also intentionally small, with a maximum of 5 travelers, so you are not stuck waiting your turn.

You should also know the practical part: no shuttle is included. That is fine because Grab and Gojek are easy in this area, and the meeting point is clear and specific at Jl. Raya Tegallalang, Tegallalang, Kec. Tegallalang, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80561. If you like Uber-like convenience, you will be comfortable.

What you actually make, and how the silver weight affects your design

Your ticket includes pure silver by weight. The class overview mentions 6 grams of silver, while the included details list 5 grams of pure silver, so double-check what your booking confirms. Either way, it is real silver you take home.

This matters because it shapes what your project can realistically be. If you design something simple like a basic ring or a small pendant, the included silver is usually enough to finish a piece you will genuinely wear. If you want a larger statement ring, heavier band, or multiple pieces, you may want to plan for extra materials.

Here is the key detail to hold onto: the casting process is not included. In plain terms, you are not doing everything from start to finish with full metal casting control. Instead, you are making and finishing your design through the steps they teach onsite. That is still a lot of work, but it is not the same as learning every single specialty foundry step.

Extra upgrades are available. The class info lists extra silver at IDR 80,000 per gram, and gemstones can be purchased for an additional fee. This gives you options if you want your jewelry to end up closer to a specific inspiration photo.

Inside the workshop: the flow of the lesson (and what you should bring)

The class runs about 1.5 to 2 hours. In that time you will go through planning, then hands-on crafting, then finishing so you leave with a finished keepsake. The hosts provide a guide to making silver jewelry, plus local snacks and bottled water.

I also appreciate that they actively work with your ideas. People described bringing inspiration from a phone and getting support to turn it into a design they can actually help you make during the class. That means you do not have to be a confident craft person walking in. You just need to be curious and willing to try.

From the way the teaching is described, the hosts give clear steps and then help at the moments where beginners usually get stuck. One couple named Kedak and Komang are mentioned in the experience descriptions, and their approach comes across as patient and encouraging. If your English is basic, that is a plus too, since people note that instruction is explained in simple ways.

What you should bring:

• A few design ideas (drawings or phone photos) for a ring, earrings, pendant, or bracelet
• A plan for what you want to prioritize: one great piece, or multiple smaller pieces
• An open mind about what can be finished within the silver weight included

Price and value: what you get for the money in Ubud

The price listed is $30.56 per person. That is not a bargain workshop where you get a tiny souvenir and a quick demo. You are paying for a guided class where you create your own jewelry and keep it, plus snacks, bottled water, and free wifi.

Value in this kind of class is mostly about three things:

1) how much silver you get to work with,

2) how much hands-on help you get,

3) whether the result feels wearable.

On all three, this class seems designed to deliver. Your included silver weight is spelled out, and you get small-group attention (max 5 people). And the final pieces described are not just decorative craft objects, people leave with jewelry they are proud to wear later.

One caution for value shoppers: the silver gram amount can differ depending on the details you see at booking, since the overview says 6 grams while the included section says 5 grams. If you are comparing classes, check the gram count line by line.

Also, if you stretch beyond the standard time window, there is an extra fee. The class info says the duration is 1.5 to 2 hours, and if it runs longer there will be an additional charge of IDR 75,000. If you want extra tinkering or a more complex design, it helps to communicate early so you do not get surprised by time.

Group size and attention: why this class feels more personal

With up to 5 people, you should expect more direct support than the big group classes that move fast. That matters because silver jewelry is picky. Small alignment errors, uneven shaping, or rushed steps can change how the finished ring sits and looks.

In the experience notes, people repeatedly highlight patient guidance and the right balance between teaching and doing-with-you assistance. That is a big deal for first-timers, especially if you want your ring to end up looking polished rather than homemade.

This is also where the family setting shows. The hosts are described as welcoming and warm, including complimentary snacks and water when you arrive. That helps reduce the usual nerves of walking into a craft workshop where you worry you might mess everything up.

And yes, timing issues happen in Ubud. One person notes they arrived about half an hour late and were still accommodated. So if your pickup or routing goes a little weird, you are likely not automatically out of luck.

Where it is located, and how to fit it with Tegallalang and Ceking

The workshop address places you in Tegallalang, specifically near the Ceking rice terraces area. The class is described as being right across from the rice terraces, which makes it easy to turn your jewelry time into a real day, not just an indoor appointment.

No shuttle means you control the schedule. That is actually a plus if you like to move at your own pace. You can book a class time, then plan a short walk or photo stop before or after.

Here is a simple pairing plan:

• Take a taxi apps ride to the workshop.
• Do the class (about 1.5 to 2 hours).
• Walk to the rice terraces for photos and a slow stroll afterward.

This works well because the workshop area is already near tourist attractions. So you can avoid long rides just to kill time before your next activity.

Silver upgrades: when you might want extra grams or gemstones

The class includes pure silver, but it does not lock you into a one-size project. The info clearly states that extra silver is available at IDR 80,000 per gram. Gemstones are also sold for an additional fee.

This is useful if you want your jewelry to match a specific style. Maybe you want a ring with a small stone accent, or a pendant that looks more like the designs you see in Balinese markets. If you have a photo reference, you can ask what can be added within your materials.

Just keep expectations realistic. If you add more elements, you may use more of your time and materials. Since the casting process is not included, your best outcome comes when you choose a design that fits what they can guide you through during class.

Who should book this class, and who might not

I think this is a great fit if you want a hands-on Bali skill without dealing with a complicated technical course. You get structured teaching, small group attention, and a wearable souvenir at the end.

It also works well if you want something more personal than a typical shop purchase. Many people in the experience notes mention that the finished ring feels special because it came from their own design, not from an off-the-shelf display.

You might consider a different option if:

• You want an “everything including casting” beginner-to-expert metalwork course (this class does not include casting).
• You expect zero additional spending. Upgrades like extra silver and gemstones cost extra.
• You only want a quick workshop with no handwork. This is not just a demonstration.

Should you book Ondox Silver Class and Jewelry in Ubud?

If you want a real keepsake made with your own hands, in a calm small-group setting, this class is a strong choice. The combination of pure silver included, friendly family-run instruction (often mentioned by name through Kedak and Komang), and the Ceking rice terraces location makes it easy to turn into a highlight day.

Book it if you can show up with a few design ideas and you are okay with the fact that the casting process is not included. If you do that, you will get a finished ring or piece you can wear again, plus the fun memory of making it yourself.
