Our Mission
Our goal is to foster community, among enamel artists and art-lovers alike, to preserve and promote the art of enameling. We aim to further out goals creating, co-sponsoring and facilitating:
-
- ongoing classes and workshops
- scholarly and technical research about all facets of enameling and enamel art
- diverse and ongoing enamel exhibitions
- hosting lectures, symposia, and conferences
The Present
The Center, a 501 c 3 tax exempt non-profit corporation, exists now in partnership with several other organizations to produce workshops, exhibitions, and other educational programs for and about enameling in the San Francisco/Bay Area and elsewhere in the U.S. If you are interested in partnering with us, email
The Center’s outreach goes well beyond the local and regional arts communities. Our social media and web presence includes online classes and talks, our blog, and in the future, an online store, online exhibitions and images from exhibitions we sponsor in the Bay Area and elsewhere, an accessible digitalized library, and much more.
From its inception, the work and the rewards of the Center have been shared by the people who believe in its mission and share our love of this art form. With your continued support, we will grow and thrive.
Help the Center realize all of its goals by donating now.
Background
The Center for Enamel Art was founded by Judy Stone. Judy retired from the Center in 2020, and the next generation of enamelists has kept the dream alive. The idea for the Center evolved gradually over many years but the work to begin making it a reality started in July 2012. Our vision is broad-reaching and ambitious.
