Enamelling – An Introduction To Cloisonné

Cloisonné is an ancient technique used to decorate metalwork objects.

Start by covering a copper blank with enamel and silver foil. You will then add your design using fine silver wires to create cells in which to build up layers of coloured enamels.  Each layer of enamel is fired until you have filled the cells of your design. 

Your tutor will explain how to wash and grind the enamels for this process, but due to time constraints pre-washed enamels will be available for you to use for your samples.

The cost of materials to complete one item is included in your course fee.  This could be a pendant, brooch, or picture.  If time allows and you wish to complete another item, you can purchase extra materials from the tutor on the day.

The workshop is suitable for beginners and those with some experience of enamelling.

A light lunch will be provided.
