Introduction to Vitreous Enamelling - Friday 1st November 2013
This 1 day course is an introduction to enamelling on copper. If you have never enamelled before or you want to refresh your skills this is a great course (I know, I was on it in May!). Students will learn:
· Prepare copper blanks · Sift enamel & fire in kiln · Embedding decorative media · Stencils, masking & Riso screens · Sgraffito · Finishing
Each student will have a choice of up to 10 pieces of copper to work on, with extra available at an extra cost if required. These include a range of shapes: circles, animals, butterflies, ovals, novelty shapes and 60mm squares suitable for small panels. This also includes any base metal findings required to make the pieces into jewellery or to put a jump ring on. (NB Adhesive is NOT provided) |
