What an authentic, well organised and smooth operation. Went daughter and I gifted the cooking class to my husband as a birthday present during our time in Ubud. We were so impressed with how hands on it was, how funny Pushpa (the head chef and lady of the house) and her husband were. They had a great sense of humour and welcomed us all into their home. We learnt so much about Balinese cooking and culture during our time here. They accommodated our four year old daughter so well as well and involved her in all of the steps as she loves being in the kitchen. We could NOT recommend this class enough or fault Pushpa’s method. We met some great people and made some friends too! Definitely a highlight of our holiday to Bali for sure! God bless Puspha and her family for organising this so well and allowing us to feel so comfortable in her home!

This is a great experience and has great value for money. Mr. Ngura is very good at explaining to you your options - if you can't draw or don't have a design in mind, you can follow a pattern. In the end, we got to take home unique rings with all the imperfections from our own making. It's pretty terrific.

The studio is in a remote location so you will most likely need a taxi as the studio does not do collection. The experience itself was so fun, though I realise I have little talent in silverworking myself. The teachers help you a lot and take your creation to a whole other level!

We really enjoyed this activity, the teachers were nice and we were very pleased with the final result. We did the 10am course and were the only ones there.

Nice experience! It was well organized and the staff was very friendly.
