About
Due to the safety requirements for using dry enamel, enameling is not offered during regular open studio time, so this is your opportunity. While a trained safety monitor is always on duty, this open studio isn't a class and no formal instruction is given.
To get the most out of this enameling open studio, it is recommended to prepare your metal in advance so you can focus on sifting techniques and kiln or torch use.
Some metals are available for purchase (please bring cash or check). Ask the studio monitor for assistance.
Materials
A $12 enamel consumables materials fee is included in the cost of this class.
Prerequisites
- Students must have completed Intro to Enameling: Opaques.
- A skills card is required for all open studio participants. A Jewelry Studio card is acquired by attending an introductory jewelry class such as Introduction to Jewelry Skills, Introduction to the Jeweler's Torch, Introduction to Lapidary, Introduction to Enamel, or Introduction to Beading Skills.
- Jewelers with previous experience can request a skills assessment by emailing jewelry.programming@bainbridgebarn.org

Karen Olch
Karen has always loved to look at and collect jewelry, so when she took her first class in BARN's Jewelry Studio, she was hooked. She understands the importance of organization and working together to provide an atmosphere of safety, judicious use of resources, and enjoyment of the creative processes in crafting jewelry.
