Join Jean Tudor, enamel extraordinaire, in a week-long enameling course entitled “Enameling: A Joyous Riot of Color”

The excitement of enameling touches everyone who tries it. There is the joyous riot of color. The strength– and yet pliability–of the metal. The need for control or the need for lack thereof in the manipulation of the materials. The self-satisfaction of learning to handle special tools and materials.

By the time we are finished we will have jewelry and/or small wall pieces.

All levels of skill and experience are welcome!
