Description: This course covers the classic art of enameling—fusing glass to metal—which has resulted in some of the great masterpieces of jewelers’ art, such as precious Fabergé eggs to Chinese cloisonné objects. This course offers the unique opportunity to learn the fundamentals of a process that has changed little since its ancient Egyptian origins. The course applies basic to more intricate enameling techniques to the creation of art metal objects. Techniques include cloisonné, champlevé, and plique-à-jour among others.
