Enameling Class

I am taking the most AWESOME enameling class every Thursday night at the 92nd Street Y. I feel very fortunate to live in the best city in the world (New York!) and have access to such wonderful facilities that offer so many great classes. The jewelry department at the Y is one of the best. They have lots of different classes in so many mediums that I have trouble deciding which class to take.

I decided to take an enameling workshop on a Sunday in May as it's been something I've been interested in and wanted to learn more about it. After taking the workshop, I signed up for a 5 week course, 1 night a week. The teacher is great and she has a loyal following of ladies who take her class every time it's offered. Some of the work I've seen these ladies do really is museum quality stuff...truly remarkable pieces. I am FAR from that. I just want to start out making some great pendants to add to my pieces. I have made a few that are basic, but what I love about enameling is the really wonderful colors you can add to your pieces. They may be simple now but I love the way they have turned out so far.

I need to start forging some metal pieces myself and have them cast for more of a unique shape to use as a base for the enamels. That's on my LOOOOONG list of things to do in the next few weeks!

Take a look at my etsy shop for some new updates! Have a great day!
