Join award-winning Enamel artist Elizabeth Jane Campbell for a special one-day enamel workshop for beginners, covering the basics of enamelling from prepping your metal to simple decorative techniques. Designed for complete beginners, this workshop offers the perfect first step before progressing to our more in-depth enamelling courses and summer schools.Â
Â
Over the course of the day, you will learn beginner techniques such as sifting and Sgraffito. You will create a series of samples using the different techniques you have learned, and Elizabeth will also demonstrate some basic techniques for applying findings to your enamel pieces to transform them into finished jewellery.Â
Â
Your Tutor: Graduating in 2013 from Edinburgh College of Art, tutor Elizabeth Jane Campbell is an award-winning enamel jeweller based in Edinburgh. Elizabeth’s work is held in private collections across the world, as well as in public collections in the UK, including the National Museum of Scotland and The Goldsmiths’ Company Permanent Collection.
Please bring along glasses if you need them and wear appropriate clothing for a studio environment, including closed-toe shoes. If you have long hair, please wear it up. If you are the type of person who prefers to arm yourself with some knowledge ahead of time, then we have prepared a Pinterest board filled with enamel information and inspiration just for you!Â

Students will not be permitted to eat lunch in the studio due to health and safety issues relating to enamel powders. Students will therefore need to make their own arrangements for lunch, for example at a cafe/ outdoors/ in their car, etc.
