Upon arrival, the artisan will introduce you to the workspace, explain the traditional tools, and demonstrate the basic methods used to transform silver into a finished piece of jewellery.
During the workshop, you will actively participate in:

This workshop provides an opportunity to learn about traditional craftsmanship, understand the value of handmade jewellery, and create a meaningful souvenir using your own design and creativity. At the end of the session, you can take home the silver jewellery piece you created as a memorable keepsake from your visit to Sri Lanka.
