Enamelling workshop: Making Enamel Jewellery with a focus on Pattern and Textural Techniques
Weekend workshop - Saturday 19th & Sunday 20th September 2026 
Class times 10.30 to 4.30 (with lunch break)
 
Your tutor is Caroline Finlay who has many years experience as a practicing enameller and jeweller as well as teaching enamelling and jewellery techniques.         
 
This course is suitable for beginners and those with enamelling experience who are interested in exploring contemporary enamelling techniques with an emphasis on texture, pattern and mark making. Techniques covered include Stencilling, Sgraffito, Basse-taille, opaque and transparent enamels and other decorative media, dusting and wet application.
 
No jewellery making skills are necessary but some knowledge will mean you can attempt more intricate pieces.  
All materials are included including silver for final pieces - if you wish to make a large piece or more than one piece, you pay have to contribute an additional cost towards the silver.
 
At the end of the weekend you will leave with a collection of your own enamelling samples on copper/silver as well as a unique piece of enamelled jewellery such as a pair of earrings, a pendant, a brooch or a ring.
 
Refreshments will be provided but not lunch which can be bought locally or you can bring your own.
 
Enamel will be fired in a kiln that reaches around 850 degrees centigrade and all health and safety and personal protective equipment will be provided, although you can bring your own apron.
You will be expected to wear a dust mask when sieving enamels.
