Course Description:
The course runs in blocks of ten weeks, with three terms during the year. With a practical, hands-on approach, you will cover a variety of traditional and non-traditional techniques of enamelling in order to add colour and textural surfaces to jewellery. Techniques include champlevé, cloisonné, basse taille, plique a jour, painted enamel, using foils and leaf, sgraffito, wet packing, sifting, stencilling, liquid enamels, screenprinting, printing with rubber stamps, working with oxides and using enamel transfers.

At the end of the year, you will have gained experience and knowledge of all the essential enamelling techniques, and will have a collection of samples and finished pieces on which to build further skills. Advanced students will broaden and enhance their skill base with personal projects. Basic materials, tools and enamels are supplied by the college. Precious metals are not supplied but advice and suppliers provided.
