One Day Enamelling Workshop
One Day Enamelling Workshop
Discover Champlevé enamelling
Learn how to apply vitreous enamel using the champlevé technique onto our pre-designed silver blanks. You will leave with a silver enamelled 'ready to wear' pendant.
This course will enable you to understand the enamelling process, from the preparation of the enamel through to its final firing, resulting in a beautiful gloss finish. You will gain the confidence to be able to employ the technique in your own work.
This is a practical and basic course with no requirement for you to design anything on the day. It is an introduction to the material and how to use it.
The workshop is conducted in small groups of up to 3 people.
What will be Covered?
- Preparing the metal
- Grinding and washing the enamel
- Applying the enamel (wet-packing)
- Firing the piece
- Cleaning up and polishing the piece
All course materials will be provided on the day.
