It was a very cool experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who’s keen to make some jewellery. I did however feel that it wasn’t very inclusive and I wasn’t involved in anything besides the design and some filing the instructor kind of would just disappear with your ring and didn’t show me how any of it was done.

We arrived by scooter and were all creating rings. With us 6 people participated in the workshop. At the beginning we could see some images to get an idea what we could make and could draw our own sketches. The three smiths helped us with the right tools and we started hammering on the silver. The finishing touch, which means bending the ring in shape, fitting to your finger and many times heating up the material was done by the professionals. They also served us some fried bananas and pineapples. We are extremely happy with the end result and can totally recommend the class - was fun and an awesome memory to wear from the holiday!

Like similar reviews, we enjoyed this experience and were happy to take home a piece of jewellery we could remember our trip by. It still is good value for money in this respect. The staff are friendly however actual learning is minimal and it felt less of a class, and more of a 'here's some paper to design your idea, and we will make it for you / take it from here'. I do feel the class might work far better if the design options were limited/restricted to simple options like custom lettering on a plain band ring for example for all participants, so staff could focus more on actually teaching a larger group step by step in making their piece of jewellery and including them at all steps of the process. GetYourGuide actually emailed us a pickup location change email, with no new location details (confusing) so we waited at the original location and ultimately, did not get picked up. This was also after I sent W.S. Art Studio a whatsapp message to confirm, with no response.
