Large Scale Steel Panel Enameling Workshop
4 hour group class
This class centers on the technique of enameling steel panels with liquid granular spray and various painting and drawing techniques. Granular spray is a method innovated by John Killmaster. This method includes sifting in liquid enamel through 80 mesh so that is can be applied with a sprayer, resulting in a granular appearance in application. The surface can then be scratched through to reveal the color underneath using various tools. This is called sgraffito and results in a great drawing base to then paint in details. This class is a wonderful way to begin working larger in enameling and learn easy drawing and painting techniques. Here’s what you’ll learn in this class!

Cloisonné Workshop
Please call for information about our group and private workshop offerings
Cloisonné (pronounced cloy-zon-ay, French for “partition”) is an ancient metalwork technique that makes use of small, precious metal filaments and colorful glass enamels to create brilliant artwork. The metal wires are bent into shapes to create small cells, (partitions) of designs, and many coats of finely ground glass enamel are fired into them until one unique piece of art is rendered.
Cloisonné is probably the most recognized enamel technique and is most commonly used in jewelry, though the craft can be found in many facets of the art world, including the production of hand-made dishes, vases and abstract pottery.
