Cloisonné is an ancient technique for decorating metal with colored glass held in place or separated by metal strips or wire. In this class, you will learn to enamel with transparent glass colors and silver wires over silver foil on copper to create your design. We will learn techniques like sifting enamels, shaping wire, wet-packing enamels, and finishing processes, like sanding with an alundum stone or diamond sanding tools. Metalsmithing and enameling experience are helpful but not required. Additional copper and enamel are available for purchase from the instructor.
