About this Event
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 colorful 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 coloring 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.
Optional UV Top Coat (£5): We offer the option of adding a UV top coat to your finished cloisonné piece for a beautiful glossy finish. This is applied by our team and takes around 3 days to complete, after which your piece will be ready for collection.
Come and enjoy this blend of traditional inspiration and modern hands-on creativity — where every stroke of color becomes a unique piece of art.
