Enameling with a Twist: Combining Liquid and Powdered Enamel on Copper or Steel
Pocosin Arts, Columbia, NC  - July 13-16, 2017
Students learned the basics of enameling on copper or steel using liquid and powdered enamels separately and in combination with each other. Enamel application methods included dipped, brushed or sprayed liquid enamels and sifted enamel powders. Decorative techniques, combined with the above methods, included use of stencils, dry screen printing, masking scrafitto, seed bead inlay, and foil, leaf or decal application. The infinite possibilities created by combining the liquid and powdered enamel techniques allowed students to develop uniquely individual results. Students worked on flat and formed metal pieces of a jewelry or hand-held-object scale made from copper or mild steel.
