Enameling on Argentium with Jennifer Knollenberg

CLASS DESCRIPTION
Want to add color with enamel to your argentium pieces? This class teaches the basics of fusing argentium silver as well as torch firing enamel. You will create a color sampler to practice enameling on argentium and fuse an argentium pendant and use your test strip to choose a desired color(s) for your pendant.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Jennifer was born and raised in Boulder, Colorado. As is often the case, Jennifer did not begin her adult life as an artist. Her early roots began in chemistry and food science where she developed a love of creating art with food. Jennifer feels that her creative spark was truly ignited when she completed the graduate jeweler program at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts and apprenticed with a San Francisco area jewelry designer.
Prerequisites

Students Should Bring
Materials Kit* Supplied by Instructor $60
Number of Seats
