I would like my students to create a simple piece of enamel work utilizing the sifting and sgraffito methods. The piece when finished will be a pendant that can be strung through a chain. Intermediate students may bring any supplies they currently have and learn to apply them in a different manner utilizing the skills they have already.

Students will use transparent enamels so the color of the metal (we will be using copper) will come through the glass. You will understand the challenge and the reward that comes from creating your own piece of custom made enamel jewelry.

Student Supply List

• 1 pad of tracing paper or any other inexpensive paper
• Paper & pen for taking notes
• If students have any other items listed above, they should fee free to bring them.

These are not samples of what we will be doing, but they are a good example of how enamels are used.
