Much fun and not difficult - This copper jewelry making course was fabulous. It's not too difficult to do. There were lots of stamp shapes and just just have to hold them and hit them with a hammer to create your chosen design. You get a trial piece and then you real deal. Once. I'd highly recommend this experience.

Great family experience - We had a lovely time making our own bracelets. 2 adults an 11 and 14 year old. My daughter was a little heavy handed and the guys replicated what she made as a replacement for free and she got to keep the original. Lovely guys very knowledgeable and a nice hour and a half. I’d recommend this experience to all when visiting Mostar when you fancy escaping the crowds

An authentic and creative experience, - This is great way to experience a part of local history, make your own souvenir and contribute to the local economy. Fantastic experience we both really enjoyed it; a creative retreat away from the business of the old town. I’d highly recommend taking time during your visit to join a workshop. Their shop and creative workshop is amazing, if you can’t join a workshop, just visit to buy some ethical and authentic souvenirs, total contrast to the majority of gifts on offer in the old town. And still very much affordable. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

A unique memory of Mostar - This jewelry workshop is highly recommended! We learned how to make a traditional piece of copper jewelry with all its many steps. The two teachers were very friendly and told us a lot about the tradition and culture in Mostar. This visit will be remembered forever! And eventually we'll visit them again! Rahel & Miro

Learn from the professionals - We’ve never done an activity like this while traveling, but there were few options for activities in Mostar, so we took a chance. So glad we did. Ariel was a great instructor. The coppersmith shop, beautiful. The process of creating a piece of jewelry offers a new perspective and respect for the tradespeople selling their crafts in and along the road to the bazaar. I cannot recommend this workshop enough. Always, always buy local.

Special Experience - This was our last activity in Mostar and also our favourite. I didn’t expect to be wearing my bracelet afterwards but haven’t taken it off since as I like it so much. The guys are very welcoming, knowledgeable and kind. There was also a very peaceful and authentic atmosphere to the workshop which makes you feel immersed in the culture of Mostar. Easily worth the money and definitely worth the visit. Thanks again and hopefully we’ll be back!

Wonderful!!! - Great experience! They welcomed us with a Bosnian coffee. Then he explained how to create bracelets and how to do it, followed us step by step and it was great to create your own object. Suitable for couples and also for individuals or groups. Beautiful boutique with a decade-long history. Very kind staff and speak English well. Thanks to the next

First class experience - Very good experience, had one to one tuition with Denis who was very knowledgeable on making copper jewellery and also the recent history of Mostar. He was also very patient. We both made with his help lasting memories of our visit. Than you Denis.
