San Diego Craft Collective welcomes Ashley Lohr, a special guest artist and educator from Southeast Alaska this month! In this workshop, students will be introduced to the art of powder enamel and learn the skills to create a kinetic handmade holiday decor. Students will be using lead-free Thompson powder enamel and enamel frit on 3 pieces of copper metal that will be connected with jump rings to create a tree shape. Enamel is a glassy compound applied to and bonded by heat (fusion) to a metal surface. Frit is thick crumbs of enamel that melt into organic shapes of color: perfect for specks of holiday color! We will be using a handheld butane torch as our heat source. -Learn how to prep, sift enamel, clean fire scale, and fire with a handheld butane torch. -Students will have their own enameling station/ will not be sharing materials. -Work with green and blue opaque and transparent Thompson powder enamel colors. -Choose a variety of frit color to decorate to add flare over 3 shapes. -Use sgraffito tools to draw in the tree textures. -Jump rings and pliers will be used to assemble the pieces together. A golden star and hanger will be provided and all holiday trees created will be ready to hang at the end of the workshop. This workshop is for beginners and for those who’d like a refresher. Ages 16 years and older. All materials to create 1 holiday tree of approximately 4″ in height. Material fee: $20 For more information visit: sandiegocraft.org Stay Connected on Facebook
