Enamel Jewellery for Beginners

Introduction to Enamelling Weekend Workshop

Level: Suitable for all

About the course:

A two-day, weekend course learning the magic of enamelling, this course is suitable for beginners as well as students looking to expand their skills. Students will learn how to prepare metal before enamelling, apply colour and textures, and then how to use the kiln to fire their pieces. We will also look at how to apply findings to an enamelled design to create final pieces that can be displayed or worn.

The workshop will cover a range of decorative techniques such as sifting, Sgraffito, stencilling, stamping, graphite with enamel as well as other effective, simple techniques.
