Torch Fired Enamel on Metal Clay
This is a two day class.
Enameling needn't be very difficult and require a kiln. You can add beautiful enamel to your silver metal clay with a simple butane torch. If you already torch fire your metal clay, you'll find working with colourful enamels very easy.
On the first day you'll make some items to add enamel to and there is enough metal clay included in the price to make several small pieces, maybe a pair of earrings and a matching pendant or some beads or charms. You can also bring your own fired pieces with you to add enamel to.
You'll learn the basics of enameling, how to choose the right enamels for your metal clay, learn about the colours that work best and those that are more tricky to use and also learn how to design metal clay pieces for enamel.
Once the pieces have been fired, you'll learn how to prepare your enamels, how to work safely with enamel and how to apply it depending on the effect you want to achieve. Finally you'll learn how to use a simple butane torch to fire the enamel, resulting in a beautiful piece of jewellery you'll treasure.
