Enamelled Christmas Decorations Class

Enamelling is a wonderful and ancient jewellery technique that involves fusing finely powdered glass onto a metal surface. Enamels come in a huge range of colours, which can be opaque or transparent, meaning the design possibilities are endless!

The course fee covers all materials and enamels, as well as use of the equipment needed. We will be working on copper blanks, with various enamels. Tutoring and demonstrations will be provided at each stage. If you have any ideas/inspiration, it’s always helpful to bring these.

Enamel is a finely ground glass, so masks will be provided and must be worn when working with the enamel powders. Health and safety information will be given to ensure safe working. Although the enamels we use are unleaded, we recommend the class is not suitable for under 16s or pregnant women.

If you have any ideas/inspiration, it’s always helpful to bring these. It's important to come wearing appropriate clothing and closed-toe footwear, and a work apron is recommended but not essential. Long hair should be tied back and please bring any glasses needed for close work.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided, and the class will pause for a 45-minute lunch break. Lunch is not provided, but you are welcome to bring a packed lunch to eat in the studio, or you can visit one of the nearby cafés.
