Cloisonné Filigree is a traditional Chinese art form, originating in the Yuan Dynasty and flourishing in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Fine metal wires are shaped into patterns and affixed to a metal base, forming compartments filled with colored enamel paste. The pieces are fired, resulting in a smooth, polished, and vibrant finish.

Designed as an introduction to this traditional Chinese art form, this workshop aims to provide participants with a hands-on experience that highlights the beauty and intricacy of Cloisonné and experience the art of cloisonné in a simplified, accessible format (No firing or high temperatures required with non-fired glaze).
