ENAMELING
From 2D to 3D: Color to Image
Patricia Nelson
This class will touch on many aspects of enameling. It will appeal to the novice as well as the seasoned student. All skill levels welcome!
Beginning with the application of enamel on flat surfaces using techniques such as hand cut and laser cut stencils, laser printed and silkscreen decals, ceramic pencils and watercolors, foils and some other patterning techniques, we will explore the development of patterning layered with imagery and story telling in enamels. We will then enamel on fully 3D surfaces such as fold-forming, employing the same techniques. You will use photo images, found images and had drawn images. Finally, we will cover various ways of incorporating the finished enamels into functional or sculptural objects. PLEASE NOTE: A small fee (under $50) will be charged for all the uses of Pat's tools equipment supplies and enamels. Details included with your class registration confirmation.
