Enameling is an ancient art form applying powdered glass to metal and firing it to fusing in a kiln or with a torch. Learn to sift, stencil, stamp and appliqué enamel to create a one of a kind piece.
During a copper class you will have the opportunity to make either an ornament, pendant, tiny bowl or earrings.
Cloisonné involves designing with silver wire using transparent enamels on fine .999 silver. Students are asked to bring a simple line drawing for their design on a 1.25" round silver disk.

Join us Saturday, May 18th for a special one day flower themed workshop coinciding with The Art of Flowers exhibit in the gallery. In this 3 hour workshop, you will design a floral themed 4" copper bowl perfect for jewelry or small knicknacks.
