Description
Explore traditional silver jewelry crafting in a quiet Galle countryside workshop with a 4th-generation artisan and enjoy a homemade Sri Lankan lunch.
Step into a peaceful, family-run silver jewelry workshop in the quiet countryside of Galle and meet a government-certified artisan with over 45 years of experience. After a warm welcome, you will be introduced to the tools, materials, and practical techniques used in everyday silver jewelry crafting.
Unlike other workshops that restrict guests to a few preset designs, this experience allows you to bring your own idea from imagination or inspiration such as Pinterest. With one-on-one guidance, you will design and create a unique silver jewelry piece using real silver. You will learn how to measure, shape, saw, solder, file, and polish your piece step by step, at a relaxed pace suitable for complete beginners.
During the session, you can observe authentic workshop practices and gain insight into how handmade silver jewelry is created from start to finish. Once your piece is completed and polished, you will enjoy a freshly prepared homemade Sri Lankan lunch in a calm countryside setting.
Before leaving, you will have time to take photos, explore additional handmade jewelry, and relax in the natural surroundings, taking home your own handcrafted silver piece and a memorable cultural experience from Galle.
