Enamel techniques – Bringing new dimension to your jewellery

Author Date

Champleve, Cloisonne, Plique a jour, Guilloche, Basse Taille, Sgraffito – there are many ways to apply enamel, and each is an exacting process that takes years to master. But the road to glory must start somewhere… and we believe those first steps should be fun and rewarding…

experimental enamelling course in London

Experimental Enamelling Techniques for Jewellery (EL04)

Book now. We teach the basic technical aspects of vitreous enamelling techniques for jewellery, alongside the associated health and safety issues related to the use of enamel powders and liquids. We will first learn how to obtain a well-fused enamel surface, and then through guided experimentation we will explore mark making techniques on copper and steel, and on the second day we will develop a finished piece of jewellery using cold connection techniques.

Fabric, threads and papers can be combined with metal to make unusual jewellery

Beyond Metal – Interdisciplinary Craft Skills For Contemporary Jewellery Practice (TX04))

Book Now. If you love the softness of silk, delicacy of lace, intensity of leather or the natural look of cotton, and want to incorporate these qualities into your jewellery, this course is for you!

Combining textiles with metal elements can give permanence to the etherial qualities of fabric, and we will explore a number of ways to draw contrasting elements together using a variety of joining methods including cold connections like riveting, screw threading and weaving.

Look at these fabulous pewter pendants / medals / objects made by children and their adults at Flux Studios this weekend!

We had an invasion of robot – spacemen whose inspiration came perhaps through cloudy skies on shooting stars.

Thankfully our own earth based ghoulies in the form of skulls, skeletons, spiders and night birds were at the ready to defend us!
