In this introduction to enameling workshop you will create some beautiful cloisonné enameled pieces . Cloisonné is an ancient technique where small fine silver wires are fused onto an enameled disc ( which you will form and powder ). Then, different enamel color is applied with a brush into each section of your design and fired multiple times until the entire piece is filled with color. It’s like painting with glass. Your finished pieces can be set into frames or be used in other jewelry creations. Some basic wire working skills are helpful.
Please bring detailed sketches in oval or round shapes of designs you would like to use for your cloisonné template. Looking at stained glass windows can help with designing. Bring tweezers, a few small thin paint brushes and small metal wire cutters if you have.
