Recent reviews of Filigree Workshop

5/5 from Tamsin Wood, attended Sep 2026: A great intro to the art of filigree! Zoey provided great instructions and was very helpful in explaining why certain steps were necessary. Our pieces before they were buffed are in the photos
5/5 from Xavier Gray, attended Apr 2026: What a brilliant course. My son did this for his HCSE art, and he loved every minute of it. You learn a lot, instructor was clear and helpful. The studio is beautiful and inspiring, and he came out with a stunning piece of jewellery to
2/5 from Bianca Giocas, attended Sep 2025: I suppose I had different expectations for this class as I came away quite disappointed. We were given a short introduction into filigree history and the teacher also spent some time talking about what other workshops we can do (which honestly I found annoying as I paid to hear about filigree, not feather craft or enamel) - about 10-15 min or so, showed us how to roll some premade wire into an eye shape and left us to our own devices to fill the base form which was also premade. Another thing that I found really frustrating was that one of the employees there kept taking pictures of our workshop (really close up as well, to the point that it was distracting) without having first asked us for permission to do so. We didn't get to make the base or solder the filigree onto the base at the end. All you really do is roll some wire into shapes and glue it onto a piece of paper within the base provided (which I didn't find to be of very good quality). I was fairly content with how my shape looked like after filling it with filigree wire shapes. But after they soldered it, the base completely deformed, some of the filigree pieces inside melted/fell off and the end result was...underwhelming to say the least. The piece was also still a bit brown from soldering oxydation, so it had not been polished properly. They might have rushed to finish it before we left so we wouldn't have to return for it, but if they realized they didn't have enough time, I would have appreciated the honesty (and I could have come back for it at a later time) rather than being given a half finished piece. If we would have had the opportunity to make the base and solder the filigree ourselves (make the piece from scratch), I would not have cared as much if the final result was ugly, as I would have learned something. As it stands, I found the workshop horrible value for money. It might be entertaining for kids, but I wouldn't recommend it for adults.
5/5 from Zoya Javed, attended Jul 2025: I booked the filigree jewelry making class for my birthday and I loved it! Zoey was a great teacher who ran through the history and cultural significance of filigree jewelry then helped us bring our own designs to life. It's amazing to go into this class having never done anything like it and come out with beautifully intricate jewelry that you've made. It was made even more special when we found out Zoey is one of only 100 filigree jewelers in China and has won well-earned awards. The space was welcoming and peaceful with lots of different classes to choose from. All the staff are incredibly friendly and committed to ensuring you leave with something beautiful and unique. Thanks again, Zoey and team!
5/5 from Marith van Rotterdam, attended May 2025: We loved the Filligree workshop, the owner was very passionate about the ancient chinese craft and she had a lot of information about it.
5/5 from Naomi Warren, attended Jan 2025: I really enjoyed my filigree workshop with Zoe. I learnt traditional techniques and Zoe was a great teacher. I will definitely do another workshop with Zoe. I came away with a beautiful silver filigree pendant which I am very pleased with, and I am looking forward to practicing filigree in my own workshop.
5/5 from Ashley Oneill, attended Aug 2024: Zoey was a great teacher! She was helpful and patient and explained a lot of the history of filigree. We learned a lot! It was a bright and happy space welcoming and full of art. It was delightful!
4/5 from Beverley Huynh, attended Aug 2024: Loved this class, and it was such a nice, calm, experience. Zoey is very sweet and even with the language barrier, with using a translation app we were able to understand the history of filigree. Her demonstration was straightforward. The only room of improvement I would suggest Is to expand the length of the class, teach how to make the right gauge of wire for intended project and how to create the frame or beginning of your project. Would definitely do a 6 week course on filigree to learn more.

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.
