Warm Color Enamels on Silver Clay with Pam East
This workshop meets Friday and Saturday, August 25 & 26, 2023, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm each day with a lunch break
 
This two-day workshop will focus on successfully firing red, yellow, pink, purple and other warm color enamels on silver clay. Day one we will create a Basse Taille pendant suitable for enameling. Day two will be devoted to getting those rich warm colors to fire beautifully on your project. Techniques will also cover improving enamel clarity and and graduated shading.
​
A kit fee of $25 will be collected by the instructor during the workshop and covers enamels and other consumables.
