There is nothing like the depth of color and dramatic brilliance possible in cloisonné enameling. This workshop offers the perfect introduction to classical cloisonné; in which vitreous enamels fill individual cells bordered by thin ribbons of wire. Instruction covers wet packing, shading, stoning, finishing, setting and much more. Learn to create a series of templates for a special jig to bend cloisonné wire into repeated shapes. Then use these wire sections to form an elegant mandala-inspired pendant. Students learn to apply both transparent and opaque enamels on fine silver as well as silver and gold foil over copper. Open to all levels.
