Join us for a fascinating paper craft and ink class in London where you will delve into the intricate art of Chánhuā. Discover the traditional techniques of making artificial flowers using silk thread, cardboard, and metal wire. In this workshop, you will learn how to design the shape and colour of a beautiful flower blossom brooch to take home.
Chánhuā, also known as "Twining Flower, " is a traditional craft of making artificial flowers using materials such as silk thread, cardboard, and metal wire. It is mainly popular in regions like Taiwan and Fujian, and there are similar intangible cultural heritage projects in Hubei as well. Traditional chánhuā is often used for ancestral worship, weddings, and home decorations, with different patterns and styles reflecting local customs and traditions. Today, chánhuā is experiencing a revitalisation with efforts from various parties. It is a suitable choice for handicraft enthusiasts who want to explore the world of traditional flower making, although mastering the technique can be challenging. Learning chánhuā allows one to appreciate the beauty of handicraft art and experience the charm of traditional culture. By preserving and developing the skill of chánhuā, we can protect and pass down this essential intangible cultural heritage, while also contributing to creating unique artistic pieces.
Here's what to expect in the workshop:
  • Learn about the background and development of Chánhuā.
  • Explore the different materials and tools used in traditional flower making.
  • Receive a DIY kit for £20 to enhance your hands-on experience.
Immerse yourself in the world of handicraft art and traditional culture as you craft your unique Chánhuā creation. By the end of the workshop, you'll not only have a beautiful flower blossom brooch to cherish but also a newfound appreciation for this essential intangible cultural heritage.

Recent reviews of Chanhua Workshop

  • 5/5 from Gwen Mitchell, attended Mar 2026: The afternoon went by so quickly. The class was the right level of learning something new and relaxing. The teacher was very friendly and supportive. It does require a level of manual dexterity (winding thread, cutting card etc). I went away with the kit to continue it at home.
  • 5/5 from Leonie Brebner, attended Feb 2026: I really enjoyed the Chanhua workshop with Zoey yesterday. In two hours we were able to learn the basics and make something to take back with us. We came away having learnt a new skill and were enthusiastic enough to buy a kit to do more at home. The atmosphere in the studio was very friendly and relaxed which helped make the experience enjoyable.
  • 5/5 from Felicia Miclea, attended Dec 2025: Thank you so much,! Zoey is very patient and positive when teaching the technique.I loved the workshop.
  • 5/5 from Sabina Argueso, attended Nov 2025: So enjoyable! Teacher was very kind and knowledgeable, pace was perfect, and was able to finish a beautiful piece and take it with me. More importantly, I can see myself doing Chanhua pieces after today!
  • 5/5 from Filedelfja Musteqja, attended Oct 2025: Lovely workshop. Our teacher Sherry was very knowledgeable and patient and guided us to make lovely floral pins. Would 100% recommend for a cozy afternoon of crafting and learning something new and unique.
  • 5/5 from Zimeng Wu, attended Aug 2025: So fun and very amazing class! Our teacher was so helpful :)
  • 5/5 from Kai Nichol, attended Jun 2025: Made a beautiful flower perfect for gifting!
  • 5/5 from Carys Evans, attended Mar 2025: We loved this class! Can’t believe we made such a beautiful flower in this short time, plus the team were so welcoming and gave us as much time and support as we needed :) A really inspiring space too - we want to come back and do more workshops!
  • 5/5 from Truly Johnston, attended Jan 2025: I bought my mum this class as a bithday present and it was a really lovely way for us to spend two hours together. We learned about the craft, got support with the tricky bits and came away with two beautiful brooches. It was great to be in zoey's studio and see all her beautiful work. There was an enamelling class going on at the same time and it felt like there was a nice creative buzz in the room. Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Lin Chen, attended Jan 2025: I enjoyed the chanhua workshop. Zoey showed us how to start the chanhua and other teachers checked up on us periodically. Zoey did finish up the final tying of the piece for me and my sister didn’t finish hers, but they sent her with a little kit to finish at home. They served us tea and snacks. I was very satisfied with the hair piece in the end and left feeling confident I can continue this craft at home. Their studio showcased their filagree, enamel, and chanhua work. It’s all beautiful and I wish we had more time on our trip to take other classes.

female Women-owned

Zoey and I are inspired by traditional Chinese jewelry techniques, reinterpreting the concept of inheritance and apprenticeship to bring authenticity and delicacy to the process of making with creativity.
We cherish these vanishing art forms and strive to pass them on more effectively. We develop various workshops to spread these specialised skills to the local community and narrow the distance between Chinese craftsmanship culture and contemporary jewellery practice.
