6:30 - 9:00 PM  

Liquid-form enamels are colored glass powders ground finely enough to suspend in a medium and used in ways similar to paints.  They are fired onto metal in a kiln to produce vibrant, color-fast, durable art or jewelry pieces.  In this six-session class, we will explore the basics of liquid form enamels and learn dipping, brushwork, sgraffito, stoning, printing and marbling techniques.  Students will create small, two-dimensional enameled steel tiles that can be mounted as wall art or used with magnets to adorn refrigerators and be worn as a brooch. 

This class is suitable for beginning enamelists or those with no enameling experience.

All tools and materials provided.

It is strongly recommended that students not miss the first session!
