Students choose their projects from a
variety of samples. One option is to make a copper box with a bezel-set wire
inlaid enamel (sample above is sterling - optional).
Description:
Enameling has been a
glorious art form for over 3800 years. Come to Volcano and play
with color!
Class topics include kiln fired
enameling (we'll dabble with torch firing too), metal fabrication
basics, torch soldering, bezel-setting enamels and stones, etching metals,
depletion gilding and so much more. Typical of Christine's classes, you never
know where the group will take us. After completing one project together,
everyone will work with Christine to develop and complete individual pieces.

Notes:
-
Everything for all projects
is covered by the materials fee, but working with sterling silver, exotic
woods or similar upgrades will be extra (totally your choice).
-
* No knowledge will be
assumed, though previous metalsmithing or enameling experience will
serve you well. Are you a beginner who is good with your hands and a fast
learner? A certain amount of hand-strength is required in any metal
fabricating class.
-
Completely unique and unavailable anywhere but at the
Volcano Arts Studio.

What to Bring
(optional):
-
Journal or pad for
notes
-
Magnification (I
have a few OptiVisors to loan out)
-
If you have
a respirator mask (like painters use, available at hardware
stores - filters should be for aerosol particulates) bring it
along. Don't feel that you need to buy one just for this class.
I have lots of paper masks that you can use for the week.
-
I have plenty of
medium and large latex gloves. If you are allergic to latex or
have extra large or extra small hands, please bring several
pairs to use during the week.
-
That's it. Really!
