Combining Painting with Fire immersion enameling and torch enameling on a tripod results in some very unique opportunities to “color outside the lines!” First we will enamel beads with the Painting with Fire method, to get the day off to an easy and productive start. From there we will cut and file our metal into a nice focal piece and torch fire a counter enamel and front coat of enamel. To jazz it up just a touch more, we will had some 6/20 frit enamel and blend that into the base coat. The results will be a magical world of color! To use all of our wonderful enameled pieces we will end the class combining all into a striking necklace utilizing copper wire and silk. I will demonstrate several easy and quick wire components from which students may choose to utilize to construct their finished work.

Have you always wanted to add gold to your jewelry work? The ancient technique of Keum Boo is the molecular bonding of gold to silver and gives us the opportunity to add that special bling that only gold achieves. Students will use fine silver as a base for their earrings and then add a special 23.5 karat gold foil. Starting with a sheet of metal, we will cut, file and shape our earrings, then using heat and pressure bond the gold. It’s not hard! Bring your thoughts, ideas and enthusiasm!
