About the Event
Enameling on Copper - sgraffito and stencils


Learn the ancient mystery of bonding metal and glass into a harmonious and colorful work of art. During this workshop, we will explore the basics of how to apply opaque glass powder to copper pieces to add color to your metalwork for jewelry or sculpture. We will focus on the techniques of sgraffito and using stencils to create bold and graphic patterns. Enamels will be torch fired so you will learn how to create enameled pieces without a kiln.

Experience is not required. We will cover all the basics. This class is for anyone wanting to learn to add color to their work and explore enameling basics.

Students will leave class with several pieces to use as pendants or earrings. The class kit includes jump rings and findings to make them wearable.

All materials and tools are provided.

As we will be sifting powdered glass, a mask is required for safety. There will be masks provided - if you have a preferred style for comfort, you may bring it. Please wear closed toe shoes and avoid clothing with extra long or flowy sleeves. You are welcome to bring any of your own tools or enamels that you may want to try out in class.
