Explore the Craft of Champlevé Enamels as you develop a beautiful enamel pendant from inception to completion in this five day class. Throughout the week, you'll master the art of sawing and fusing fine silver bases. Following the foundation's fabrication, you'll fashion your unique cloisonné wires, embedding them into the fine silver base, and delicately layering colored enamels to bring your design to life. Emphasis will be placed on achieving exceptional transparency and vibrant color clarity.
