I will be teaching a 'Champlevé Enamel on Fine-Silver Metal Clay' class at the 2016 Bead and Button Show in Millwaukee.

Description: Champleve is a style of enameling that uses depressions in a metal backing to generate a colorful design. Students will create jewelry designs or components using fine-silver metal clay and colorful vitreous glass enamel.

Students will Learn: How to use fine-silver metal clay to design and make champlevé enamel pieces. Wet-packing and color-shading enamel techniques will be covered, along with how to achieve a bright finish. Molds will be available for optional use.

The class will be held on Friday, June 10th, 8:30am-4:00pm, and Saturday June 11th, 9:00am-5:00pm (with breaks) (12 hours).  More information can be found on the Bead and Button Show website.
