All Levels | TBD Materials and Studio Fees*
This workshop is for anyone that wants more than just a pop of color! Participants will learn to apply imagery and pattern through a basic understanding of sifted enamel. We will start the week with an introduction on how to prep metals, sift enamels, and use kilns to fire enamel. As the workshop progresses, we will cover various enameling techniques like basse-taille, sgraffito, and using stencils and pencils. Participants will focus on techniques they feel best suit their voice and aesthetic to create the imagery and objects of their choosing. We will also cover different methods for setting enamels to make jewelry or whatever we dream up. This class is perfect for total beginners, those with some jewelry experience, as well as artists with experience in other mediums looking to incorporate enamel into their work.
Prerequisites: All levels from beginner to those who just want to try more investigation in enamel basics. A great place in jewelry to start for those who draw and paint.
*Materials and studio fees are charged to students based on studio usage and materials Touchstone is providing at the request of the instructor. Additionally, some instructors may also require that you bring certain materials and tools with you, in which case a list will be provided. Final cost of these fees will be posted at least two weeks ahead of the workshop to be paid in full prior to check-in.
