Workshop: Portuguese Filigree

DATE: 16-05-2026

Discover the delicacy of filigree, one of the most beautiful traditions of Portuguese jewellery-making. Led by Inês Santos – a jeweller and specialist trainer at the Lisbon Jewellery Centre – this workshop allows participants, with no prior experience required, to learn about the historical context of the technique, the tools and stages of production, and to create a silver pendant with their own hands. At the end, each participant will take home the piece they have crafted, the result of their direct engagement with this ancient art.
