5.00This was such a fun experience! Elmer was so helpful with guiding us through the process of picking our jade piece, designing the shape we liked, cutting, sanding and polishing! I definitely recommend this experience to anyone coming to Antigua!
So much more than expected

5.00Such a cool activity. Loved learning about the background of Jade in Guatemala. We were able to pick out a colour and choose our own design. So awesome creating a piece of jewellery instead of purchasing. Davide and Priscilla made the whole experience 10/10. Highly reccomend and would definitely go back!
Worthy experience. David is great!

5.00The Jade carving class was a great experience. When we arrived, Dario gave us a quick and informative tour. We were then brought to the front room to begin our class with David. He was extremely helpful and charismatic! We got to choose between lavender, green, and black jade pieces. We sanded them 3 times, then polished them. It was amazing to see how it transformed throughout the process! The equipment was easy and safe to use. You may get really wet though and it may be difficult to work if you have long nails. We got to choose between a necklace, bracelet, or ring, but keep in mind that a ring may take 4-5 days to finish. Anyway, have fun!
Only 2 of us in the group...

3.00This experience has a lot of potential. Our instructor was not the most helpful or enthusiastic. He didn't explain much so we were going through the motions without really knowing what we were doing.
Excellent
