Introduction to Copper Enameling

Description

Enameling is the ancient art of sifting colored, powdered glass onto metal and fusing it under the heat of a torch or kiln. The technique is super fun, and produces dynamic, colorful jewelry.

In this class, you’ll start with recycled copper or precut copper shapes, and learn to safely coat them with enamels.  We’ll cover cleaning the metal, layering colors, line application, stenciling, and wet-packing. The class fee covers the use of class tools and supplies, a dust mask, a chain and ear wires so you can wear your jewelry out the door! You can expect to make a couple pairs of earrings and a necklace or two, depending on the complexity of your designs.
