CLASS DESCRIPTION

Liquid enamel gives you the freedom to add colour and texture to your work. This technique will benefit many artists, not just jewellers as is evidenced in some of the photos displayed here. Liquid enamel can be used in a range of ways; painted, dripped, sgraffito, layered and ground back, textured and more. In this workshop you will have the opportunity to explore all of these techniques. Liquid enamel can be used on copper or mild steel. This workshop will work with copper which gives extremely interesting results as the enamel reacts with the copper.
