Pattern Forming and Enameling on Dimensional Surfaces 

In this workshop, join Nash Quinn as we explore the ways a flat sheet of metal can be transformed into a volumetric object using nothing but a jeweler’s saw and a carefully-designed template.  No soldering! Once formed, these vessels can be enameled using low-tech methods for adhering enamel to vertical surfaces. Finally, we will cover strategies for enhancing the finished enameled vessel, including basic silver fabrication and cold connection methods. This versatile technique of forming can be scaled up and down and opens a wide world of possibilities for three-dimensional enameling! 

This online LIVE interactive class focuses on design, technique, and craft.  Nash will walk you through the layout, cutting, forming, and enameling of these vessels step-by-step as you work alongside him in your own studio. Students can expect to complete at least one vessel during the class.

Students of all skill levels welcome, previous experience using a jeweler’s saw and basic enamel sifting and kiln firing is highly recommended. This class is not suitable for torch firing, kilns only– kilns should have a minimum interior firing chamber of 4″x4″x4″.
