Enameling is a very ancient craft of permanently fusing glass to metal by means of heat. Recently, it is one of the most exciting ways to produce vibrant colors and imaginative patterns and images on metal. Explore a number of practices using kiln and torch fired techniques. Kiln fired enamels produce precision colors, alternating layers of opaque and transparent colors to produce vibrant color, patterns and pictures to your metalwork. Torch fired enamels can be used to produce an organic, burnt out glass and dripping facade. Explore a variety of ideas such as wet enamels to create crackle and sgraffito effect. Build a ring as time allows.
