Nestled amid the enchanting landscapes of Mambal near Ubud, lies a haven of craftsmanship and culture that has etched its name into Bali’s artistic tapestry – the John Hardy Workshop.
Situated amidst the serene environs of Mambal near Ubud, the world renowned jewellery brand John Hardy Workshop presents an exceptional opportunity to partake in the acclaimed Bali Jewelry Workshop Tours, coupled with their renowned Long Table Lunch experience. The establishment now introduces an array of Master Classes, inviting individuals to engage in crafting their own distinctive jewellery pieces, thereby embarking on an extraordinary journey unlike any other.
With the recent incorporation of a novel Master Class series and the exquisite transformation of the Kapal Bamboo boutique, John Hardy provides a peerless glimpse into the meticulous artistry that infuses each item of its globally acclaimed jewellery collection.
Nestled within bamboo structures nestled amidst historic rice terraces, the Workshop Tour shines a spotlight on the step-by-step process involved in the manual creation of each jewellery component. Marrying innovation and craftsmanship, this laborious journey underscores the brand’s unwavering commitment to precision and excellence.
Employing 100% reclaimed sterling silver and gold, the diamonds and gemstones are conscientiously sourced, echoing the brand’s enduring dedication to sustainability and the preservation of its birthplace, the island of Bali.
In response to guests’ yearning for deeper insights, the John Hardy Workshop has curated an assortment of Master Classes, affording participants the privilege to collaborate with skilled artisans in personalising their very own jewellery pieces. Starting with sketching designs on paper, the process progresses to sculpting wax moulds, which lay the groundwork for the final pieces. Attendees are also guided through the meticulous weaving of the iconic Classic Chain, link by link, immersing them in the revered chain-weaving technique that has been a hallmark of Balinese craftsmanship for generations.
Customised pieces can be cast and finalised for those who choose to follow the entire process, culminating in owning a timeless piece of personally tailored John Hardy jewellery. Alternatively, those savouring the Master Class experience take home their rendered designs and wax carvings as cherished mementos.
Following the Workshop Tour and Master Class, attendees are invited to partake in the traditional Long Table Lunch, shared with department heads, lead designers and artisans. This convivial family-style lunch reveres Balinese cuisine while honouring the collective spirit of the workshop’s team members.
