Liquid Metal Enameling: August 23 from 2:00-6:00

Learn how to paint with gold! This technique for giving life to your vitreous enamel might feel familiar: you may have seen something similar in the metallic accents that decorate porcelain. Metal is finely powdered and then suspended in a binder that the artist can use as paint. When fired, the oils burn away and leave a high polished gold sheen. At the end of class you will have completed with at least one pair of earrings and pendant pendant. We will cover: Surface preparation Mixing oils for enamel Oil burning out process Kiln firing liquid enamel Details: Sunday, August 23 from 2:00-6:00 Class is held in the Silver Peak Jewelry Arts located at 100 E.
