Discover the charm of cloisonné in a modern, non-fired form! In this hands-on workshop in Edinburgh, you’ll learn how to outline designs with fine wire and fill them with colourful 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 colouring 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 colour becomes a unique piece of art.

Recent reviews of Modern Cloisonné Workshop (Non-fired Technique)
5/5 from Zayne Thomson, attended Sep 2026: It was enjoyable and calming. The teacher is so sweet and I like how even when I couldn't finish making the product in 3 hours slot, she told me not to rush and take my time.
5/5 from Tatjana Kisseljov, attended Aug 2026: My two grown-up daughters, their friend and I attended a Modern Cloisonné Workshop, and it was absolutely brilliant! The lady artist was very friendly. She introduced us to the history of this art technique and explained step by step how to make our coasters. We actually plan to put ours on the wall as pictures! It’s such a lovely idea for a bridal party, or any other group of friends, to come along and spend some quality time together — or you can come on your own. I also loved the music playing in the background; it was very relaxing. After I booked the class, I received an email with the best-ever instructions, including pictures, explaining exactly how to find the building and the classroom. We travelled all the way from Newcastle. The artist also offered to post our coasters to us — all four for just £4.50 — once the finishing coat has been applied (the finishing coat is optional). We also received lovely handmade presents made by one of their artists, which we put on our tops and handbags. Such a sweet gesture! We made the best memories. Thank you very much for such a wonderful experience! ️
5/5 from Thomas Fotheringham, attended Aug 2026: The class that we took was absolutely amazing, Quini was wonderful very kind and helpful. We loved the time we spent making our crafts. Quini explained everything very well and she made it easy for us to do. Thank you. We had a great day.
5/5 from Nicolas Rocos, attended Aug 2026: I had a great time at the workshop! The teacher was very instructive, gave me a brief overview on the history of Cloisonné, then showed me the basics of how to shape the metal filament and gave me some tips & tricks to make nice angles and edges! Overall I had an amazing time and, being my first time, I think it turned out well thanks to her!
5/5 from Katie McKenzie, attended Jul 2026: This was such a good class! I took my mum and it was a new craft we'd never done before. The teacher was very patient and helpful and was even okay with when we ran over time! Would highly recommend this class to anyone wanting a crafty afternoon to try something new
5/5 from Jillian Cummings, attended Jul 2026: A perfect, relaxing afternoon date! My boyfriend and I had a lot of fun learning how to make cloisonne. Everything was very well organised, instructions clear, and studio was super friendly and cozy.
5/5 from John Baillie, attended Jun 2026: unique! never done it before was good.
5/5 from Douglas Soden, attended Jun 2026: Relaxing atmosphere, instructive, helpful and accommodating
5/5 from Nicola Beveridge, attended May 2026: We had a lovely time doing the Modern Cloisonné Workshop at Serica Studio. The women running it were very friendly and showed us the history and techniques before guiding us through the workshop. The studio was very relaxed and a lovely space to spend a few hours.
5/5 from Julia Unsicker, attended Apr 2026: I had a great time and thanks to the relaxed atmosphere in the workspace with some lovely music it was a very enjoyable 3h. I would never have imagined how satisfying it was to see the final results come together. I really appreciated the time they took for individual guidance and the selection of colours and motives was great.
5/5 from Emily Graham, attended Mar 2026: We had a lovely time. It was an enjoyable class where we were taught what to do by a great teacher. We could either pick from a catalogue of designs or make our own. We could create either a coaster or a bookmark. Directions with photos to the class location were very easy to follow. A really unusual craft but super fun!
5/5 from Lauren Cowling, attended Feb 2026: Wonderful experience learning the modern Cloisonne with gentle and patient instruction from our teacher. We were able to choose from a variety of options (coaster, bookmark etc), designs (a whole binder full of beautiful ideas) and colours. We also paid extra to have it protected by a resin coating and delivered to our home (since we don't live nearby to collect the dried result in person). A lovely afternoon, very relaxing and rewarding!
5/5 from Mia Pittman, attended Feb 2026: This Modern Cloisonné class was so good I would definitely do again! The results looked really amazing, despite not being a super artistic person. The teachers were great, and guided through the process well - 10/10 would recommend!!
