Event Description:
Enameling is one of the oldest arts in the history of man. It has been seen in art dating back to the first century B.C. in pieces of Greek sculpture that show areas of inlaid gold covered with a form of glaze, enamel. In this workshop, students will explore the ancient craft by creating their own jewelry. The process involves applying a thin coat of powdered glass to a metal, then heating both to a high temperature so the glass melts and fuses to the metal. Colors can be mixed and matched to create unique pieces. Instructor Kathy Nelson
