In this workshop you will experiment with firing glass to metal, and make a beautiful piece of handmade jewelry to keep or give as a special gift.
First we will learn about the process of firing the ground glass to copper in a 1500 degree kiln, and experience the awe of pulling that first glassy piece out of the kiln. From there we will fire several samples to practice the process and get a feel for the time needed in the kiln to get that perfectly fused surface. We will then choose glass colors and metal forms to make enameled components for our finished piece. After firing, we will attach sterling silver or 18K gold filled earwires or chain, and wrap it up in a gift box to take home!
This is a great opportunity to experience enameling first hand if you are a jewelry maker looking to add color to your work. Open to all levels of experience.
This workshop can be taken together with Intro to Kiln Fired Enameling on 4/8/22 or on its own.
