What Makes This Class Special:

Enamel is made from natural minerals melted onto metal in the kiln. Because the materials are precious and the process requires many firings, enamel work is traditionally valued for being fine, rare, and exquisite.

In this class, we focus on flat coating, which is the simplest and most beginner-friendly technique. It keeps the process clear and approachable, so you can concentrate on design, creativity, and developing your own aesthetic sense, while experiencing the timeless beauty of this ancient craft.

What’s Included:

• Copper plates for enameling

• A selection of enamel powders in different colors

• Access to kiln, firing equipment, and all necessary tools

• Safety gear and materials for handling enamel

• One complimentary drink

• Your finished enameled pendant or charm to take home

Techniques You’ll Learn:

• Sifting enamel powders for flat, even coverage

• Layering and firing for opacity and depth

• Kiln firing to fuse enamel onto metal

• Controlling color through multiple firings

• Polishing and finishing for a smooth, glossy surface

Who This Class Is For:

This class is ideal for complete beginners who want to try enameling, jewelry enthusiasts eager to explore color as a design element, or artists looking for a calm, precise, and rewarding process. It’s an approachable entry point into enameling, requires no metalsmithing background, and open to absolutely everyone.
