Master a 600-Year-Old Jewelry Technique

Discover the exquisite art of cloisonné enameling (kloi-ze-nā), a centuries-old technique originating in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). In this immersive workshop, you’ll learn how to transform thin silver wire “cells” filled with vibrant enamel colors into stunning jewelry pieces.

Workshop Highlights

    • Wet Pack Enameling: Apply and fire enamel on a domed silver blank.

    • Layering Vibrant Colors: Fill cells with vibrant enamel and achieve a smooth, polished finish.
    • Firing Techniques: Master proper firing methods.
