I am pleased to be able to announce some more dates and classes for the summer. This is the perfect opportunity to learn how to make your own unique piece of jewellery or to learn something about the fascinating craft of enamelling. Enamel is a form of glass and used very finely ground to apply colours and patterns to the surface of metal before firing it at temperatures around 800 degrees centigrade in a small electric kiln. I teach enamelling at introductory and more advanced levels and on either copper or on silver, including on silver clay. Other dates are available by arrangement, please
email me with your requirements and preferred dates.
