Color and Texture in Enamel

Color and Texture in Enamel

June 16-18th, 2021

We will begin with metalworking techniques that work in collaboration with enameling, such as stamping textures, die forming (with and without a press), drilling and working the metal to create forms that enhance enamels and are conducive to setting. Once the metal work is done you will begin working with enamels to emphasize the texture and form of the metal, layering with opaque and transparent colors as well as incorporating liquid enamel and P-3 to enhance the texture in the metal. You will experiment with grinding through layers of enamel, pencil drawing, watercolor enamels, and firing alternative materials into the enamel surface.
