Embracing Copper for Cloisonné
Create a rich, perhaps moodier feel
Copper can be such a wonderful metal to enamel on. Far too often, I see Cloisonné pieces that are done on copper after completely disguising the natural attributes of this beautiful metal. Meaning that it is often covered with foil to seem like silver or gold. Or that it is hidden deep within opaques. I love copper for all of it's idiosyncrasies and in this piece I take it to the outer limits of those attributes. Embrace Copper with me.
Workshop Format
I am very excited to be launching my online workshops! Of course, I would rather you were here at my studio in beautiful Coastal California. There is nothing that can replace the inspiring experience of an intimate classroom of passionate students. I just hope my online classes will be a perfect second option. The workshops here are an on-demand format so you can work at your own pace and not struggle to adjust your schedule to enjoy the learning process. All of the handouts will be available for you to download and print so that they are easily used as a reference at your workbench. Every workshop will come with a downloadable list of tools and material requirements, I will also include links to my favorite suppliers. You probably already know that I love to hear from my students and have set up Facebook pages that will be closed to the general public but open to enrolled students. https://www.facebook.com/groups/3911470105559798
It will be a place where you can share your triumphs with fellow classmates as well as the challenges you are experiencing. I will be there to answer questions and join the cheering section.
