Torch Fired Enameling is some of the most addictive fun you can have! If you've always wanted to try it, this is the workshop for you! You'll create a one-of-a-kind, crooked little town pendant in this fun workshop. You'll learn to saw like a pro and play with vivid colored glass enamels and fire. New to the torch? No problem! I'll show you the safe and easy way to approach this tool and technique. Never used a jeweler's saw? No problem! I'll walk you through the process, step by step. You'll leave the workshop with valuable new skills that you can use over and over again and a fun, new necklace that will turn heads.
