After an explanation about tools, materials, setting up a workstation and safety, Barbara will introduce the reader to a thorough discussion on enamel types, techniques and working with colour - both in terms of putting colours together as well as how the colour come through when enamelling. The reader will then be introduced to 11 stepped out projects - a combination of necklaces, bracelets and beads that can be used in a variety of jewellery designs. Each project will offer at least three unique lessons/techniques and will include things such as incorporating decals, custom tinting liquid enamels, firescale as a decorative element, using stencils, silk screening, controlled over-firing, including rubber-stamped images and more.
