【Workshop(s)】[Cold Enamel Wire-Inlay] Famous Portrait Chibi-Style | Crafting Workshop for Beginners

[Intangible Cultural Heritage: Jingtailan Copper-Wire Cloisonné] Cloisonné is a craft technique that originated from artisans brought back from Arabia during the western conquests of Genghis Khan in the Yuan Dynasty. The original technique involved creating a frame with copper wires, filling it with colored glazes, and repeatedly firing, polishing, and gilding the piece. Because the craft reached its creative peak during the Jingtai era of the Ming Dynasty, it is commonly known as Jingtailan. We have adapted the traditional cloisonné technique, utilizing modern and stylish epoxy sand materials, allowing you to experience this peak craftsmanship without the need for firing! Use the wire-inlay technique to create your own "3D character portrait"! This workshop combines the imitation of Jingtailan craftsmanship with modern material applications. By outlining contours with gold wire and filling them with enamel, you will complete a charming, three-dimensional portrait full of personal style. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/181647/f/15534689.jpg https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/181647/f/15530579.png **| What will you learn in this introductory workshop?** - Traditional Jingtailan wire-inlay techniques - Mixed media usage: Enamel sand filling and blending techniques (choose from 40 colors on-site) - Famous Portrait options: All designs share the same difficulty level - Finished piece: One 12 x 12 x 0.5cm transparent square display piece with a 3 x 10 x 2cm wooden base **★ Notes on choosing a "Self-Portrait":** As we will use AI to generate your design on-site, please ensure your photo follows these rules to avoid issues with generating a draft suitable for wire-inlay: - Please prepare multiple photos to ensure a successful output, though only one will be selected for creation. - To avoid legal issues, images or photos without proper authorization cannot be used. - To ensure a smooth wire-inlay process, the AI-generated design will have complex details removed, and the instructor will determine the feasibility of the design.
