What you'll do
The art of Filigree is one of the most fascinating jewellery-making techniques still in use today. It involves twisting fine metal threads into intricate works and creating works of art. It is time-consuming and takes years to learn the skill, but these workshops will be an introduction to the craft.
The workshops are entitled "Create Your Own Filigree Pendant" and are one-hour hands-on sessions with up to 4 people. Together, they get to make a small filigree pendant. The aim is to see the whole process, take part in it and to go home with the finished product.
Each workshop will teach the basics of the filigree craft and will consists of a 10-minute introduction and briefing tutorial, followed by a 50-minute hands-on activity, where guests will create their own pendants.
Each workshop session is fun and exciting, especially as guests will see the process which will take them from a simple piece of silver wire to owning the finished product. All materials needed for making filigree jewellery are provided during the workshop and guests will even get to take the pendants which they create with them!
Each guest will have the opportunity to discover the art of filigree making and who knows?...… maybe they will like it so much that they will sign on for one of the more intense classes which we hold from time to time!
Other things to note
Please note that there are 3 cats within the premises so it is not ideal for someone with a cat allergy.
Also, in view that the workshop is located in a three storey house which does not have an elevator, it is not accessible to wheelchair bound guests.

We are so happy to have taken this filigree class with Kevin!!! He was very personable and an excellent teacher! For a one-hour introductory class to this local craft we really learned A LOT!! We enjoyed this unique experience and were able to take our very own self-made filigree pendants home with us!! It was also a real treat to be in a traditional Maltese home and work in Kevin’s personal studio!! We recommend this class to EVERYONE!!! What a fun thing to do in Malta!

Great Experience!
I'd seen a ton of filagree for sale around Malta, and it was great to have a chance to make some myself. It was really cool to go through all steps and learn the very basics of such a beautiful craft. I really like my pendant and it's a great souvenir!
Thanks!

It was Amazing. Since the beginning the tutor made me feel very comfortable, explaining in details all the process. I normally do a lot of questions and he kindly answered to all. It was a enriching experience, it's really worth. Completely recommend it to all.
