Ayu's workshop feels like a family gathering (with extra sparkle!). She learned silversmithing at her father's knee – he was the village's first artisan to share Balinese craftsmanship with the world. With Ayu, you'll hear those stories, learn traditional techniques, and feel the warmth of Balinese artistry shine through your own handcrafted piece. This is jewelry-making with a whole lot of heart.
