About

In this class you will learn some basic drawing and painting skills to enhance your jewelry designs. If you already have drawing and painting experience, this class will build on your skill set.

No need for enameling experience, bring your ideas and learn how to turn your artwork into wearable jewelry! 

Liquid enamels provide endless possibilities when applied to metal.  In this class we will use torch and kiln fired enamels. You will be introduced to graphite pencils, watercolors, acrylic, and oil paints. At the end of class you will have a piece that can be turned into wearable art and a great technique for future projects.
