Explore new innovative methods working in drawing, painting and shaping water and oil enamels fired on steel with John Killmaster, one of the most respected enamel masters working with large scale steel. Explore silkscreening, sand-enameling, granular spray, crayon, watercolor and mixed media on large-scale steel panels. We will be hammering steel and spot welding it into sculptural shapes. Other experimental possibilities: modular wall and free standing outdoor sculpture.
No prior enameling skills required.

John Killmaster ( MFA ’69, Cranbook Academy of Art) is an artist working in several mediums: painting, clay, and porcelain enameling. He lives in Boise, ID. He was Professor of Art at Boise State University (1970-97). His work has been exhibited worldwide and is in many private collections. His work has been recognized with the Lifetime Achievement Award from The Enamelist Society, the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts from the State of Idaho and as a grantee for the Western States Arts Federation.
Killmaster’s personal goal has been to gain recognition of the art form of enameling to be considered a “fine art”, along with glass, ceramics, painting, sculpture, printmaking drawing and photography, and architecture.
