Large Scale Steel Panel Enameling Workshop |
|
|
$150 per person
3 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!
