Enamels Taster Workshop Christchurch

This is a one-day class focusing on beautiful glass enamels on copper and silver using the Torch Fired Glass Enamel technique. It is a wonderful way to add colour to your work!

Beginners to jewellery work can use pre-formed shapes to apply their enamels to so they can focus on creating an excellent result. They will be shown how to apply textures and small alterations to the pieces using either hammers or roll printed textures before prepping the metal for the glass enamel.

Those with some metalwork experience can take on a more advanced piece. High quality silver findings are supplied for one to two projects and more are available to purchase if required. Sterling silver chains are also available if you want to complete the finish of a pendant.

This workshop will not be focussing on soldered joints with enamels but will use simple loops and folded over bails for connections. This is to ensure you have enough time to complete and finish your work to a beautiful standard.

Beginners and advanced students are welcome, class runs 10am - 4pm with a lunch break.
