Have a go at Enamelling Workshop
Overview
Please note: This event is OK to go ahead. We are having to restrict numbers to 2 due to the guidelines, so you will get a personalised experience. The venue has assured they have all the COVID 19 hygiene and social distancing steps in place.
Another level of crafting for you! At this enamelling workshop you can expect a very one to one experience with lots of tuition from the lovely Teresa.
Enamelling is the application of powdered glass to metal that is then fired in a kiln to produce vitreous enamel.
We will begin with a brief description of what enamelling is and a demonstration from Teresa. Different techniques are available to try, we will be working on copper using sifting, stencilling, embedding decorative media, and sgraffito to produce your choice of either a picture or jewellery component. Teresa will show us plenty of examples to help inspire us.
Includes
Use of tools and all materials will be included.
Host & Everything Else
- Excellent enamelling workshop. I thought the event a bit expensive when I booked it, but when I realised the cost of the materials and processing of the items, I could see the cost was justified. Teresa is obviously very experienced, both in craft skills and also in teaching amateurs: she was very encouraging and helpful. It’s wonderful that a novice can, in just an hour or two, produce a couple of attractive items that I shall be happy to show off to friends. I can see myself doing more of Teresa’s workshops.
- Teresa was a patient tutor who managed to spread herself amongst the five of us so that we all were able to complete each of the stages of the enamelling.
- The class size was just right, more people would have made it difficult to get as much of Teresa’s time as we needed.
- It was a very enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I would be very happy to recommend it to others.
