ABOUT US

This is a photo of our workshop in Bali, Indonesia, on Silverworker's Day - a special day of blessing for trade.
Our workshop accepts men and women to learn the craft after they finish their secondary schooling.Made (pictured above with wife and children) is the foreman of the workshop. He descends from generations of gold and silversmiths and he is dedicated to running a workshop-school that cele-brates and preserves this craft. I am grateful to him for his vision. The open air setting is both beau-tiful and safe. The work spaces are well lighted and situated by a small ornamental fish pond.
