Discover the magic of enameling in this beginner-friendly workshop, where you’ll create several finished copper samples that can be transformed into pendants or earrings! Enameling is a centuries-old technique of fusing powdered glass onto metal, creating glossy, durable, and often colorful surfaces. This process is popular for jewelry, vessels, and decorative objects, with different enameling methods producing a variety of colors, patterns, and textures. The result is a unique piece that reflects the maker’s creativity and craftsmanship. This workshop is beginner friendly; no previous metalsmithing experience is needed. Closed-toe shoes and natural fiber clothing are required for safety. 713-529-4848
