June 7 - 12, 2026

Open to All Skill Levels

Metals, Enamels

Overview

In this workshop, students will explore the specialized process of champlevé enameling, gaining a fundamental understanding of how to fire enamels into recessed areas of metal. Enamel is an excellent way to introduce both narrative and abstract imagery, adding vibrant color to jewelry. This exploratory, technical workshop will cover essential techniques, including etching, soldering, and image transfer, along with how to work with both opaque and transparent enamels. Various finishing techniques will also be taught. This workshop is open to all skill levels, though some prior metalsmithing experience is helpful but not required. Students can expect to leave with multiple samples and/or finished pieces.
