Some Like it Hot: Torch-fired Enamels
Ever wanted to try enameling without a kiln? Turn off that electricity and join us. This is your low budget, low tech approach to enameling small objects or jewelry pieces that will leave you with the skills to do this at home. You will learn how to use liquid and transparent enamels, sgraffito techniques, and the use of under and over-firing for particular desired affects. In the longer classes, we will also explore the use of graphite to create the “drawings” in the work. Cold-connection and minimal soldering skill options for your piece(s) can be explored, should you need it.
Let's Sugar Coat This: Torch-fired Enamels
Ever wanted to try enameling without a kiln? Turn off that electricity and join us. This is your low budget, low tech approach to enameling small objects or jewelry pieces that will leave you with the skills to do this at home. You will learn how to use liquid, transparent & opaque enamels, sgraffito techniques, and the use of all firing techniques with the final firing being under-fired to achieve the sugar/granular surface. For the one day class at the EGNE conference, enameling skills will be needed in order to develop this technique in such a short time frame.
