A gentle introduction to cloisonné using ink, sand and fine wire. Shape your design, guide the colour, and watch your piece slowly come to life with rich tones and delicate lines. Calm, tactile and quietly absorbing.
Discover the art of cloisonné in a relaxed, hands on session where colour, form and patience come together.
Using fine gold wire, ink and coloured sand, you will build your design piece by piece. The wire creates soft boundaries, allowing each section to hold its own colour while still feeling connected to the whole. As the sand settles and the colours deepen, your artwork gradually comes to life.
You will be guided step by step through the process, from shaping your design to applying colour and sealing your finished piece. There is plenty of room to explore your own style; whether you are drawn to bold contrasts or something more subtle and balanced.
This is a slower, more mindful process. It invites you to focus, to work with your hands, and to enjoy the quiet rhythm of creating.
By the end of the session, you will have a beautifully detailed artwork with a distinctive, almost luminous finish; something that feels both intricate and personal.
A calm, creative experience designed to help you switch off, take your time, and enjoy making, very much in the spirit of SoCro.
