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 2-pairs of torch-fired enamel earrings and 1 pendant. Students will be using lead-free Thompson enamel on copper metal. Enamel is a glassy compound applied to and bonded by heat (fusion) to a metal surface. 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. • Choose from a variety of copper metal shapes to enamel on. • Work with 11 Thompson powder enamel colors to choose your palette. • Use stencils, sgraffito tools, and frit to create your own unique designs. All jewelry created will be ready to wear at the end of the workshop.
