Enameling I - Patricia Hart This class includes discussions, demonstrations, and experiences with enamel studio basics, safety, use of the kiln, selection and preparation of metals, safe use of enamel powders and other materials, troubleshooting and good record keeping. We will be using the elements and principles of design relative to the creation of wearable art/jewelry. My teaching approach is to expose you to various techniques through samples & demonstrations then allow you to choose what you would like to do. Techniques included are: sgraffito, copper and fine silver wire as design elements, simple wire Cloisonné, drawing, painting, stenciling and crackle enamel.

Enameling II - Patricia Hart This class is your opportunity to practice and further develop your skills and learn to combine techniques taught in Enameling 1 Plus. New techniques covered will be traditional Cloisonné, using transparent enamels and fine silver foil; basse-taille using the rolling mill and chasing/texturing tools; and enameling simple sawed shapes and folded forms, which you create in class. As usual, you will have the choice to apply any or all of these more advanced techniques. You will also learn to attach bails to your work before enameling by soldering fine silver or copper wire using a butane torch.
