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.This is a one-day class focusing on creating beautiful enamels on copper and silver. It is open for beginners.
Being able to fire the enamels in a kiln allows you to have more artistic freedom with colours and shapes of your piece.
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
All basic materials are provided. Additional materials such as silver, chains, and extras can be purchased on the day.
Kids aged 12 (or so) are welcome to attend the class, but any person under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an enrolled parent or caregiver.
Workshop fee $248, early bird $225 till 19 April.
