Diane Cook | Bohemian Rhapsody | Friday, February 3rd, 2017 | 9 am until 4 pm
$145.00
This class is a further exploration into the world of torch fired enameling incorporating a new technique, I call “Bohemian Rhapsody”. As I fall deeper in love with enameling base metals, I find myself dreaming of all the untapped possibilities. Not only into the designs, but into the never ending array of color combinations that lie ahead, when using in this case, liquid enamels. You will quickly discover how the soft silky glass powder allows you to mix every color imaginable within the color wheel in a new & exciting way.
In this class you will have the opportunity to design a ring, a pendant and/or earrings, using my newest enameling technique, along with mastering cold join attachments of tabs & rivets.
Hope you’ll join me!
