  • Enameling - Advanced

    Learn Jewelry Enameling with Instructor Susan Priess at the Visual Arts Center (VAC) Learn the basics of enameling jewelry, including using enameling tools, kiln safety, working with powdered glass, and embellishing your enamel work with glass frit, millefiori, and reflective beads.

    You will apply vitreous enamel to metal using a sifter and a brush, learn the sgrafitto technique, explore cloisonné and champlevé. See powdered glass bring metal alive with glowing colors after firing with precision and evolve into glorious original jewelry designed by you! 

    Students should have some enameling experience, either a previous enameling class at VAC or equivalent study. Previous study and/or experience with metalsmithing is very helpful.  

    Instructor will have additional die-cut copper forms and other materials available for purchase.
