Join this one-day enamelling workshop in London and explore the playful side of vitreous enamel, using hand-cut and found stencils to create a variety of patterns and designs. You'll also discover how under-firing and over-firing can change both the colour and surface texture of your work. It's a hands-on, low-pressure day of experimenting, so it's a lovely fit whether you're curious about enamelling or ready to try something new.
You'll start the day getting to know your fellow makers and looking at examples of what you'll be making. Throughout the day, your friendly teacher will lead a series of demonstrations, each followed by time for you to try the techniques yourself. You'll be supplied with everything you need, including copper and enamels, and you'll finish with a relaxed chat and the chance to share your samples with the group.
What you'll learn:
  • Preparing metal
  • Applying enamel
  • Designing and cutting stencils
  • Sifting through stencils and using lifting techniques
  • Firing techniques, including under-firing and over-firing
  • Finishing techniques
You'll make a series of your own one-of-a-kind samples, each with the potential to become a finished piece of jewellery in your own time. By the end of the day, you'll head home with a collection of colourful, textured keepsakes and a toolkit of experimental enamelling techniques to keep exploring.
Please note: please bring a notebook, a pen and a camera (or phone camera) to record your samples. We also recommend bringing a dust mask and an apron. Closed-toe shoes only in the studio, please.
