Summary

Enameling- The color from the fire
In this workshop, Nicole Beck will teach us the traditional technique of enameling on metal. After a short theoretical introduction, we will first create small color samples on copper plates to get to know the technical approach. We will quickly switch to a free and informal approach to powder enameling and develop small pieces of work/jewellery. Through the experimental process, many exciting possibilities and own ideas are stimulated and openly realized. The playful use of different enamel colors, fusible materials, folding and creasing of the base material metal and drawing on enamel opens up a playground for creativity. The format refers to simple jewelry shapes and smaller objects. Silver sheet and wire can be purchased during the course if required.

Additional material costs of €30 per person are payable.
