Delicate Filigree
Filigree is a technique that has been used by jewellers since ancient times and is still popular among jewellery designers today. It involves curling, twisting and braiding fine gold or silver wire, which is then soldered together and arranged in a decorative motif. It’s a precise job that will have a delicate result. Try it yourself and go home with your own piece of jewellery.
For whom?
This workshop is suitable for participants with some prior knowledge and experience. You should at least be able to file and solder.
Language: mainly Dutch.
