Learn to create beautiful enamelled jewellery with Lisa Sinclair.Join us for a full-day enamelling workshop where you’ll explore colour, texture, and fire to create vibrant enamelled jewellery in copper or silver.
This hands-on class focuses on the fundamentals of enamelling, showing you how to apply, fire, and layer enamel to achieve rich, expressive surfaces. You’ll make a simple yet beautifully textured pendant or pair of earrings, then learn how to add a pop (or flood!) of colour to bring your piece to life.
Beginners to metalwork are very welcome - pre-formed shapes are available so you can focus on experimenting with colour, pattern, and mark-making. If you have some metalworking experience, you’re encouraged to take things further by creating and texturing your own metal forms before enamelling.
This is a playful, creative workshop and an ideal class for anyone who loves working with colour, surface, and experimentation - whether you’re new to enamels or keen to deepen your skills.
What you’ll learn:
The basics of enamelling on copper and silver
How to prepare metal for enamelling
Applying enamel using different techniques
Firing enamel and building up layers of colour
Creating texture and pattern in metal
Tips for achieving clean, vibrant enamel finishes
The class fee covers enamel materials but NOT metals. Students can choose from a range of pre-cut copper blanks or use their own copper sheet. Findings and chains are available to purchase at a range of good prices to suit all budgets.
Kids aged approximately 12+ are welcome. Any participant under 16 must be accompanied by an enrolled parent or caregiver.
For health and safety reasons, students must wear sturdy closed-toe shoes.
