Opalescent Grisaille with Mer Almagro (online)

                       

Join enamellist Mer Almagro as she teaches her specialty- Opalescent Grisaille! In this LIVE interactive online workshop, Mer will walk you through the intricacies and steps of how to create beautiful pieces in the distinctive grisaille style.

Mer will be your guide as you explore a vitreous enamel technique with rich history, grisaille, in its 20th century incarnation developed by Andreu Vilasís. We will utilize beautiful, semi-translucent opalescent enamels to build volume in a delicate low relief on the traditional dark blue background. The results are magical and enchanting.

This is an advanced enamelling technique. Some experience wet-packing enamels is required. Drawing or painting experience is recommended.

Kilns are required for this course. This class uses leaded enamels.

Mer Almagro trained in artistic vitreous enamel over metals at the Llotja academy, beginning in the early 90’s, under tutelage and mentorship of Andreu Vilasís & Núria L. Ribalta. Barcelona is her hometown, an inspiration growing up. Her greatest muse, however, is always nature.
She is a bit of a nerdy enamelist, and loves how there’s always something more to learn.
