Sri Lanka best jewelry making silver workshop - hands-on classes?

Booking Amaya's 2-day Kandy course. Question: do they typically start with wire-work or sheet metal? I have basic wire jewelry background from home and want to build on that rather than start from zero.

Certification: workshops don't provide formal certification but give portfolio + hallmark certificates on finished pieces. Suitable for hobbyists + skill development. Not for professional jeweler pathway (that requires formal training).

Silver sourcing: workshops use certified 925 sterling silver. Higher-end workshops may offer working with gold-plating, gemstone setting. Additional materials cost. Ask ahead about additions.

Practical: workshop provides all tools + materials. Take home your finished pieces + hallmark certificates. Wear old comfortable clothes - silver-work is dusty + hands get dirty. Water available. Bring lunch if all-day.

For serious craftspeople: month-long apprentice arrangements possible with Kandy master craftsmen (Rohana's Workshop). Not marketed but arranged through Handicrafts Board. Deep skill development. USD 500-1500 for extended learning.

Also: for jewelry design (not making): some Colombo design schools offer 1-week jewelry design intensives. Different from hand-making. USD 300-800 for course. Better for design-focused learners.
