5/6. Ardinger's 1-3:30pm

The ferry I was scheduled to take from Homer to Kodiak was cancelled. I'm super bummed! I talked to Alex at Ardingers, and we'll be looking at some later dates for me to come and teach: possibly September.

Torch-Fired Powder Enamel on Copper/ MAKE + TAKE Workshop

Come create a beautiful, enameled pair of earrings with Petersburg artist: Ashley Lohr. In this workshop, participants will learn how to create one-of-a-kind enamel pieces using Thompson powder enamel sifted onto copper blanks. We will discuss enamel consistency, application, prepping, cleaning, stenciling, ombre and sgraffito techniques. This ancient craft of enameling allows for the unique addition of glass color to metal designs by adding heat between 1300* F to 1500*F.

Ashley has over 15 years of experience teaching jewelry and will demonstrate each step along with help participants one-on-one. 

• Have fun learning a new creative skill
