Introduction to Cloisonne
Class Description
Curious about cloisonne? This quick intro to cloisonne will give you some basic techniques to get started. We will make a sample piece and go over tools and materials. All materials for a sample copper piece will be provided. If you want to use silver, you can bring a piece to work with. It must either be fine silver or depletion gilded. You may also bring an image to use. Bold line drawings will work best for this sample.
About the Instructor
"Ever since I can remember, I have been interested in the act of creating. From my first mud pie in the driveway I knew there was something special about being able to create by hand. It was not until I took a metalwork and jewelry design course at the University of Michigan in 1994 that I truly fell in love with metal and knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I completed my BFA from the University of Michigan with a concentration in Metalwork and Jewelry Design in 1997 and then went on to acquire my Master of Art in 2001 from California State University Fullerton. I have been teaching art classes since 1998 and teaching metalworking since 2007. There is nothing better than being able to share my passion with others."
