The Twist it! Course is a new and unique teaching inspired by the ancient Italian Filigree, the art of weaving very thin precious metal wires.The word “filigree” comes from the latin “filum” (which means “thread”) and “granum” (which means “seed”), so it’s the “thread with granules.
扭轉吧！這項課程是一門全新且獨特的教學，靈感來自古老的義大利絲線工藝（Filigree），這是一門編織極細貴金屬線材的藝術。「絲線工藝」(filigree) 一詞源自拉丁文「filum」（意思是「線」）和「granum」（意思是「種子」），因此它是「帶有顆粒的線」。
In the Twist It – Advanced Course, we delve into the three-dimensional potential of basic Filigree, exploring its creative possibilities in depth.One of the first techniques we’ll explore is two-layer filigree—a method where twisted wire is not just arranged flat, but carefully shaped and layered to create depth and dimension. This subtle shift adds movement, complexity, and a more sculptural quality to each piece.
在Twist It – 進階課程中，我們深入探討基礎金絲鑲嵌工藝的三維潛力，深度探索其創作可能性。我們將探索的首項技術是雙層金絲鑲嵌—這是一種不僅將扭轉金屬絲平面排列，而是精心塑形並分層堆疊以創造深度和立體感的方法。這種微妙的轉變為每件作品增添了動感、複雜性和更具雕塑感的品質。
The result is intricate, high-quality Filigree jewelry, with a light, airy volume that lends each piece a refined and delicate aesthetic.最終成果是精緻、高品質的金絲鑲嵌珠寶，具有輕盈、通透的立體感，為每件作品增添了優雅而精緻的美感。
