You will work with both traditional and powdered enamels and liquid industrial enamels onto copper and steel. The enamelling will be experimental with a focus on stretching the potential of the process and emphasise torch firing. Students will be encouraged to develop their own ways of working with enamels which can then be applied to individual pieces of work. The course will explore the use of stamps, stencils, metal surface manipulation and firing sand and mineral into the enamel. Stoning and abrading techniques will be used to finish enamelled surfaces. At the end of the course, you will have a number of samples and new techniques to add to your repertoire of jewellery making skills.
Talks, demonstrations, practical workshops, hands on making and experimenting, class discussion, peer reviews. Creative tasks facilitated and demonstrated by the tutor; set tasks with tutor demonstration; working individually, reviewing and discussing results in the group.
No formal experience or qualifications are required but previous experience in jewellery is helpful. This course is recommended for anyone interested in experimenting with this ancient technique applying a new contemporary approach to it.
