Cloisonné Enamels

December 14 & 16, 2021

10am-12pm

Have you done a little enameling? Want to kick it up a notch? This virtual course jumps fully into the technique of cloisonné enamel. In cloisonné, thin wire is used to create walls and line work within enamel and can allow for a sharp separation of color, creating high contrast imagery. Within the “cells” created by the wire you can use one or multiple colors, opaque and transparent enamels. Offering a myriad of design possibilities and results!

Participants will be shown step-by-step how to create their first cloisonné piece, bending the wires, firing, wet packing, and how to finish the enamel surface. Problem solving your design in cloisonné wire will be discussed as well. Participants should expect to work out of class and follow along with the demonstrations, so they can come to class with questions.
