Joalharia do Carmo offers Filigree workshops in Lisbon
From workshop to jewelry: May 30th and 31st, don't miss the opportunity to learn the art of Filigree with master artisans
Since dedicating exclusively to Certified Portuguese Filigree in October 2022, Joalharia do Carmo has been making its 5 stores a stage for the artisans of this art, so that the world can see the faces and hands of those behind of the jewels and the intertwining of (almost!) infinite gold and silver threads that characterize Filigree.
Holders of a distinctly Portuguese know-how, the names of the artisans from the various Artisanal Production Units are identified in the stores of Joalharia do Carmo, next to their jewelry. Now, to further consolidate the dimension of its involvement with artisans, Joalharia do Carmo offers in its stores on Rua do Carmo and Rua da Prata in Lisbon, on the 30th and 31st of May, respectively, and throughout all-day workshops that allow customers to discover how jewelry is made and learn the specialized techniques of filigree masters while taking a journey through the jewelry, memories and history of the artisans in the first person.
This 2-day public event will include live demonstrations with goldsmiths and fillers, who invite customers to use their hands and finesse to produce a piece of Filigree jewelry. With the aim of preserving this exceptional Portuguese heritage, artisans work directly with clients, providing them with the benefit of their experience and skill in a dialogue between technique, tradition and creativity.
By organizing the workshops, Joalharia do Carmo aims to raise awareness and promote knowledge about Certified Portuguese Filigree in an information campaign that testifies to the brand’s commitment to the continuity of the profession and art. Bou also the desire to offer artisans tangible future perspectives of a challenging, captivating and constantly evolving artistic profession, while ensuring that customers are presented with unique jewels in the world, entirely handmade.
