Class Outline:
This class offers an opportunity for individuals to learn the fundamentals of using a kiln and enamel powders. By incorporating vibrant, lead-free enamel powders onto copper blanks, participants will witness the remarkable transformation that occurs during the firing process. The guidance of an experienced instructor will ensure that participants are well-informed and supported throughout the various techniques involved.
The workshop also emphasizes the importance of safety in working with enamels and related materials. Discussions and demonstrations will be conducted to educate participants on proper precautions and best practices. This includes the safe handling and storage of materials, as well as the correct methods for firing and finishing enamelled pieces.
By the conclusion of the workshop, participants will have not only gained a deeper understanding of enamelling, but also acquired a range of knowledge and skills that can greatly enhance their artistic practice. With this newfound expertise, individuals will be equipped to continue exploring and experimenting with enamelling as a form of creative expression.
Participants will learn techniques such as counter enameling, sifting, and using embellishments. These techniques will provide a solid foundation for participants to explore and experiment with enameling.
