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!

Try something a little different in Mostar - A real break from the madding crowd. Oasis of calm (and patience!) whilst they talked through what to do, how the process works and allowed us to practice (much needed for myself - less so for the rest of my family!). Loved the bracelets we all made.

Much more than a workshop - Lucky me. I was the only one signed up for my time slot. The workshop was a lot of fun, incredibly interesting. My skills were sub par overall but was met with a lot of patience and guidance. Left with a memory- the bracelet. But left with more memories as we chatted over coffee about life, the town itself, and its rich history. I’m going back just to hang out and catch up.

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!
