First Time Enameling Workshop with Ashley Gilreath
February 22, 2022 - February 23, 2022
$185 – $215
Enameling is a process in which vitreous glass is fused to precious metals; and is easier to achieve than it may seem. The layering of vibrant color upon the surface of your jewelry adds light and warmth to your original designs. Demonstrations will include basic sifting, kiln and torch firing techniques, stenciling, and sgraffito. Students will leave this weekend workshop feeling excited about the creative possibilities that enameling provides, while simultaneously gaining the confidence to continue pursuing this craft in the future.
Students should bring a sketchbook, pencils, apron, mask, water bottle, and lunch. You may also bring any materials from previous metalsmithing or enameling workshops such as copper, fine silver, hand tools, unfinished enamel projects, etc.
Materials fee – $25 (additional materials will also be available for purchase) / Minimum age – 18
Tuesday, February 22 / 10:00 am-5:00 pm
Wednesday, February 23 / 10:00 am-5:00 pm
Please note: Both to reduce risk of exposure to COVID-19 and to protect the lungs against hazardous heavy metal particulates, the instructor of this course requires all students to wear N95 or KN95 masks – masks with filters on the front of the mask are not accepted.
