Drawing and Painting with Enamel

Class Description

6 week course (meets once a week for 3 hours)

Taught by Rebekah Laskin

This 6 session class explores various enameling techniques, which allow the artist to utilize the medium in a spontaneous, expressive, and innovative way.  Beginning and advanced students will learn basic application and controlled firing of enamel on metal as well as use of underglaze pencils and oxides, fine mesh sifting, stencils, and foils to achieve unique imagery and surfaces.  

Participants will have the opportunity to utilize these processes on several sample enamel pieces.  They will be encouraged to explore the limitless possibilities of this medium with the goal of finding unique and innovative uses for enamel in their own work. Methods of incorporating enamels into jewelry will be discussed.

Open to all levels. This class may be repeated by past students.

Maximum class size 10 students.

There is a supply kit available for purchase through our Tool Shop. Materials will be available for pick up during your first class.

All students receive a 50% discount on hourly bench rentals throughout the duration of their course.
