In this two-day workshop, participants will be introduced to some of the basics of jewellery making and enameling. Enamel is glass in a powder form that is dusted and baked onto the surface of metal via kiln firing (exposure to 1500 degrees fahrenheit for 2 minutes) or torch firing (exposure to indirect flame for 30 seconds). Participants will come to understand the medium of metal by learning basic techniques like sawing, sanding, filing, and drilling metal.

They will also learn some ways to manipulate metal into different shapes and explore textures. Basic enameling techniques and both firing processes will then be taught, allowing participants to bring their ideas to life. With these techniques and processes, participants will create a set of jewellery (a pair of earrings and a pendant) of their very own design to take home.
