In this class, you will use a torch to soften and flow glass over a metal surface, also known as vitreous enameling. The class will cover the basics of enameling and also introduce you to cloisonné, a technique that has produced some of the world’s most beautiful and iconic jewelry pieces. Cloisonné and other enamel techniques are not hard to learn when the right tools and supplies are in place, so you will probably feel very pleased with your first attempt! Your finished project will be a cloisonné pendant. This class is held two consecutive Wednesday evenings. The class is open to beginners with no previous metalsmith experience.

11-14yrs Summer Art Camp
We are excited to announce some changes in our summer programming for students between the ages of 11 and 14. Each week, rather than focusing on a theme, students will have the opportunity to focus on one particular medium. They will explore and create while developing skills in medium-specific processes and with medium-specific tools. These camps are four days a week, and 2.5-3 hours each day.
