Modern Cloisonné Workshop (Non-fired Technique)

X

Description

Discover the charm of cloisonné in a modern, non-fired form! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to outline designs with fine wire and fill them with colourful sand — a safe, kiln-free technique suitable for beginners. Work on surfaces like glass or wood to create beautiful, practical pieces such as coasters, bookmarks, or small decorative panels. 📍 Who is it for: Beginners and craft enthusiasts alike — no prior experience needed, just curiosity and creativity. 🎨 What you’ll get: - Step-by-step guidance on wire outlining and sand colouring techniques. - A relaxing and inspiring creative session. - A unique handcrafted item (coaster, bookmark, or decorative panel) to take home. ⚠️ Please note: Your piece needs to dry naturally for about 8 hours to set properly, so it cannot be taken home on the same day. You’re welcome to arrange a convenient time to collect it afterward. Come and enjoy this blend of traditional inspiration and modern hands-on creativity — where every stroke of colour becomes a unique piece of art.
