Sri Lanka · GEM, JEWELLERY & BATIK WORKSHOPS
3 reviewed
Good gem, jewellery & batik workshops fill up in season here and the best ones fill up first. Below are the 3 to look at, with current prices and what makes each one different.
Join a 4-hour traditional silver and stone jewelry workshop in Kotapola near Galle. Hands-on ring making, lunch, and honest pricing.
“It was great. Did ring making.. saw the whole process and also go lunch too. Extra for the gemstones and design you wanted.”
3 hours in Colombo by Tuk Tuk with a private local guide, tastings, temples, markets, and a Galle Face sunset for $85.
“We had arrived by cruise ship and had limited time for a tour. The booking process was very easy, communications were timely and we met Chinthaka as agreed. Five hours of walking & Tuk Tuks around Colombo. Some traditional sights and locations and lots of local, back street sights. We would never have learned so much without Chinny who was an amazing guide, full of facts, history and cultural insights. We absolutely loved it. I would definitely highly recommend this tour and Chinthaka.”
Make a one-of-a-kind batik cloth in Kandy. Learn wax-resist techniques with an English-speaking instructor, plus herbal tea.
“Unique workshop in a family home setting. Great fun, interesting and informative. Was given Tea and very tasty breakfast/lunch. Quite difficult to find initially, would advise you contact them to arrange transport as local tuk-tuk drivers struggle to find it and map position not very accurate.”
