Class / Workshop

What to expect:

Enameling

Showcase your individual style by transforming raw metal in this memorable and unique hands-on introductory class experience. A torch firing enamel class teaches you how to apply powdered glass to metal and melt it with a torch to create colorful, durable jewelry. Classes cover torch safety, cleaning and preparing the copper metal, applying different types of enamels, and design techniques like stenciling and sgraffito. Create a pendant using precut shapes or circles you will learn to cut yourself. A mask will be required, as well as, safe use of the enamels and torches. Through guided instruction and individual practice, you’ll complete a finished piece and gain the beginning skills needed for additional enameling classes. No prior experience necessary — just bring your creativity!

Stacking Rings

Learn to size, texture, bend, and solder 3 sterling silver ring bands to create a set of stacking rings. These bands could have an add stone set in another class.
