Join award-winning Enamel artist Elizabeth Jane Campbell for a special extended Enamel Summer School for beginners, covering all the basics of enamelling from prepping your metal to decorative techniques. This comprehensive class is a great starting point for makers looking to introduce colour, pattern and texture to their jewellery.
Over the course of three days, you will learn an extensive range of beginner techniques such as sifting, Sgraffito, stencilling, stamping and graphite. Practical demonstrations will be spread throughout the course, giving you plenty of time to practise, experiment and develop your work in enamel.
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 finished enamel pieces to transform them into a collection of colourful jewellery.
