Bracelet Making Workshop in Mostar: Learn Coppersmithing

Shape copper into jewelry using centuries-old Mostar techniques

A hands-on bracelet-making class in Mostar where you learn traditional coppersmithing from a live guide, craft your own copper bracelet over 90 minutes, and take home a finished piece. The workshop sits in the historic old town, includes all materials and tools, and comes with complimentary Bosnian coffee. Offered in English or Bosnian. Children welcome from age 7.

The experience

You'll spend 90 minutes at AbrakaBakra in Mostar's historic heart learning the coppersmithing craft that has defined the city for generations. A live guide walks you through each step (how to shape, hammer and finish copper), so you move from a flat piece of metal to a wearable bracelet you designed yourself. The workshop supplies everything: tools, copper stock, and enough material to make a test piece and a polished finished bracelet to take home. Between techniques, you'll hear about Mostar's Old Bridge, the city's art scene, and the artisans whose methods you're now using.

Bosnian coffee, the kind brewed the traditional way, arrives complimentary while you work. The guide speaks English or Bosnian depending on your group, and the space welcomes children from age 7 onward. All areas are wheelchair accessible, and public transportation stops nearby if you're not driving. The whole experience is built for people who want to make something with their hands and leave with a real object, not just a memory.

Is this one for you?You do the work yourself under live instruction, so you leave with a bracelet you shaped and finished, not one someone else made. This suits anyone who wants to learn a real craft and walk away with proof of it (families, solo travelers, people who collect handmade souvenirs) rather than watch a demonstration or buy a finished piece.
