San Diego Craft Collective welcomes Ashley Lohr, a special guest artist and educator from Southeast Alaska this month!
In this workshop, students will be introduced to the art of powder enamel and learn the skills to create 2-pairs of torch-fired enamel earrings and 1 pendant.
Students will be using lead-free Thompson enamel on copper metal. Enamel is a glassy compound applied to and bonded by heat (fusion) to a metal surface. We will be using a handheld butane torch as our heat source.
Learn how to prep, sift enamel, clean fire scale, and fire with a handheld butane torch.
Students will have their own enameling station/ will not be sharing materials.
Choose from a variety of copper metal shapes to enamel on.
Work with 11 Thompson powder enamel colors to choose your palette.
Use stencils, sgraffito tools, and frit to create your own unique designs.
All jewelry created will be ready to wear at the end of the workshop.
This workshop is for beginners and for those who’d like a refresher.
All materials to create 2 pairs of earrings & 1 pendant are included.
Masks and safety goggles will be provided.
This class is appropriate for ages 16 yrs+.
Material fee: $30 payable to the instructor at the start of class
