Metalwork

Description: Take a simpler approach to one of the most challenging techniques in torch enameling as you learn how to let the daylight into your enameled designs with the plique-a-jour technique. You will learn the ins-and-outs of this design aesthetic, as well as shortcuts for adding transparent glass to punched-out sections of metal.
 
Students will Learn: How to apply the enamel, fire the work, finish the piece, and continue to practice these new skills at home.
 
Prerequisites: Students should feel comfortable working with a torch, small details, and multiple processes at once. While not a requirement, taking the instructor’s basic torch-enameling classes can support this class experience.
 
Project will be completed in class.
