Add a burst of colour to your jewellery with enamel!
Enamelling is one of the most joyful jewellery techniques — it lets you paint with glass, transforming plain metal into something bright, textured and full of life. Whether you love bold, glossy colour or soft, translucent tones, enamel offers endless possibilities for creativity and expression.
In this playful beginners class, you’ll spend the day experimenting with colour, pattern and texture as you learn how enamel behaves and fuses to metal. It’s a relaxed, creative day designed to build your confidence and spark ideas for future jewellery designs.
Creative Enamelling for Beginners
You’ll explore:
Powder enamel (dry application)
Sifting enamel through stencils to create colourful patterns
Using transparent and opaque enamels
How enamel reacts and flows in the kiln
By the end of the day, you’ll have a beautiful set of enamelled copper samples and a real understanding of how to use colour and heat to create unique surface designs.
