Upcoming Online Workshop in May!

Upcoming Online Workshop in May!

Presented by Silvera Jewelry School
Explore new Ground – Enameling on Steel Forms
with Alisa Looney

Four Tuesdays, May 9, 2023 – May 30, 2023; 2:00PM – 5:30PM PT (Pacific Time) – Online 

Do you have a desire to add glass enamel imagery or marks to steel forms?
Curious how to begin this versatile enameling process?

Learn to design, cut, and form various gauges into three dimensional shapes. Clean and prepare the steel for a ground coat formulated to adhere for a strong yet lightweight structure.  In this class, not only will you learn how to work with the steel to prepare it for enameling, but also learn the granular spray technique Alisa uses with sgraffito to get those delicate lines with no chipping! The course covers professional as well as budget conscious options. Experience enamel like never before with incredible control on your steel forms.  Create work in a variety of styles- from detailed drawing to abstract patterns, loose and expressive or realistic and precise. Graisalle techniques will also be covered, building up shades of black and white to achieve depth and detail. Can be kiln-fired multiple times, on which color enamels can be added.
This course is available as a live online class with time to work and ask questions both during and between 4 weekly sessions. 
Classes are recorded so if you miss a class, use the recording to catch up.
