I looked into this as something special for my wife and I to do in Ubud as part of our honeymoon. We only had a few days and we are both so glad that we did this. After getting picked up and given (unusually for Bali) a big welcome hug we traveled five mins to a genuine Balinese family compound,... More

We booked a class through email and it was confirmed without any problem. Sunarta, Monique and his assistant were so patient, helpful and kind while waiting for us to decide on what we wanted to make. Even for someone who is artistically challenged, the experience was memorable and we ended up with 2 beautiful and unique pieces of silver (some... More

We booked a class via email and it was confirmed without any problem. We had a little trouble finding Sunarta's home but this was more to do with our map reading than anything else. He is very helpful and found us and brought us to his family home. I believe he often picks up people from his shop to attend... More

My friend and I went to a silver smithing class and we both loved it! In the morning, it was just the 2 of us and Sunarta, Monique, and Harris were all so kind and helpful while we decided what to make. I enjoyed it so much that I stayed for the afternoon and made 2 more pieces of silver... More

It was a wonderful & memorable time for me and kong. I'm so happy that we are able to make our own couple pendant " doggy & piggy" as our Bali Trip 2012 souvenir. Thank you Sunarta & his assistant help. Both of them are so friendly, patient and spent such a long time for our pendants to make sure... More

How often do most people get to make silver jewelry? When we heard about this class, we decided it would be a great way to learn something new and by master jewelry makers. Sunarta and his family are absolute sweethearts and so welcoming to their home. Sunarta even picked us up from the Chez Monique Shop which was located nearer... More

I recently took a sliver jewelry making class in Ubud, Bali at Chez Monique. It was great fun and educational in that I learned how cuts outs were make (by hand - not moulded) in metal jewelry. The instructor and his assistant were very helpful, friendly, patient, and took a lot of time to ensure that each of us (4)... More

I had the most beautiful morning with Sunarta and Monik. To walk into their home and be greeted with a hug, what better way to start the day. Being very artistically challenged with grand ideas of what to make, he was very patient and extremely helpful. His 'apprentice' was very talented as well. Monik was a gorgeous soul, very loving...
