4 hours Class size 1 to 9     label £98

In this class, you will learn the ancient technique of cloisonné vitreous enamelling, focusing on blending the colours to create a beautiful gradient. You will learn how to attach the silver cloisons, and then how to fire layers of enamel to create a beautifully blended colour surface.

What will I make?

You will make a sterling silver cloisonné enamel pendant using blended colours.

What will happen on the day?

You will be guided through making a silver cloisonné vitreous enamel pendant using a sterling silver oval shape that has been prepared for your use. Through demonstrations and one-to-one support, you will learn to create a simple silver cloisonné wire design that you will then add layers of coloured enamel to.

The emphasis will be on designs that exploit the opportunity to graduate the colours, creating a blended effect, for example blue to green or light to dark. Each layer will be fired in a kiln for one or two minutes before you add another layer, and the colours will be built up over three or four separate firings. You will be able to choose your own colours from a limited selection, and you will finish the class with a piece that is unique to you.
