Liquid enamels are colored glass powders that are ground finely enough to suspend in a medium, allowing them to be used with various painting techniques. Like sifting enamels, they are fired onto metal in a kiln to produce vibrant, color-fast, durable art or jewelry pieces. In this two-day workshop, we will explore the possibilities of liquid form enamels and learn dipping, brushwork, sgraffito, stoning and marbling techniques. Students will create small two-dimensional enameled steel tiles which can be mounted as wall art or used with magnets to adorn refrigerators and/or bodies!

All tools and materials provided.
