you'll want to come back - Truly delightful experience. Had one on one guidance as it ended up being only me. Beautiful pieces in the shop to inspire if you're in need of a spark. Two hours passed very quickly as the work (and conversation) was so absorbing. Afterwards, I noticed with greater attention all the texture in the everyday-- inspiration I'll be saving for the next time, the next bracelet. Much gratitude to the artist for his time and insights.

Daniel is the best! - This was such a fun experience. Daniel was nice, extremely patient and helpful. I made a beautiful pair of earrings and my sister made a lovely bracelet. He also showed us the process of making coffee and serving it to us. We had so much fun and came home with a beautiful treasure from Mostar.

A must when in Mostar! - We had so much fun making bracelets! The owner was so calm, thorough, and patient as he explained the jewelry making process and walked us through several designs. The class comes with Bosnian coffee or tea included— we chose coffee, and it was the best cup we had in Mostar! I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area. It’s absolutely a must-do and leaves you with such a great, personalized keepsake.

Perfect for someone that wants a hands on crafting experience, and one of a kind souvenirs - My husband and I had a great time with Almir as he patiently showed us the copper working process! The process has many steps and Almir is a great teacher. We are very satisfied with the jewelry we ended up making. Options were bracelet, earrings, or pendant. He made a bracelet and I made earrings! Would definitely recommend this activity for anyone looking for one of a kind souvenirs, or a unique experience.

The most wholesome... - The most wholesome experience ever, I already recommended to everyone in my hostel. Arnel not just showed me step by step how to make the earrings, but also thought me how to make traditional bosnian coffee, climbed the fig tree to get me some figs, and shared about the history and culture of bosnia. I'm travelling on a budget, but it was worth it, without question.

So much fun! - We loved this workshop! My sister was a bit worried she wouldn’t be creative enough but was met with lots of encouragement, and both our bracelets turned out amazing! We were involved in the process from start to finish, including a practice piece to try out the different stamps before we committed to our final designs. Super friendly environment with lots of laughs too! A relaxing but fun way to spend an afternoon, I highly recommend!

Skills - Really enjoyed my visit here, lots to learn and my teacher was excellent : clearly a master of his skill and v friendly, speaking v good English. I made a lovely copper bracelet. My only issue was the advert said you could make either earrings, pendant or bracelet. I wasn't given a choice and would have preferred to make earrings, but I'm still happy with my bracelet!
