Basic Enamelling on Metal

In this introductory course, four groups of enamelling techniques are taught, dry application, wet charging, painting and champlevé. In the champlevé portion of the course, the etching techniques of intaglio, PNP, and sugar lift are covered. The decorative applications of foils, glass rods, and millefiori can also be incorporated into your artwork. It is helpful to have some previous jewellery making experience, but not necessary to create jewellery and small works of art. 4 student max.

Cloisonné Enamelling

5 Mondays Feb 6^th to March 5^th 2012

6:30pm to 9:00 pm

Instructor: Peggy Logan

Cloisonné means partition in French. These partitions are created with silver wire set into clear glass called flux in enamelling. They are then filled with coloured glass enamel to suit the design. Cloisonné is usually used as stone replacement in jewellery and set with a bezel. We will create a piece of Cloisonné enamel from start to finish using traditional techniques of wire bending and wet packing enamel. The use of foils under glazes and rods to add depth to your work will be discussed. Your piece can be executed on a flat or curved surface. It is preferable to have previous enameling experience. Students are to bring their own set of pliers if they can if not we have some that can be shared. 4 student max.

$188.00 course fee (plus HST)

Fine silver Wire costs are extra
