Cloisonné Enamel Workshop

Instructor: Gayane Avetisyan

Cloisonne Enamel

To see Gayane’s work visit her website:https://www.gayaneavetisyan.ca/

During this workshop, we will continue to explore the magical world of enameling. The cloisonné process involves creating compartments, or cloisons, on the fine silver surface, usually with thin strips of wire. Then we fill those compartments with different colours of enamel. The object is then fired in a kiln to melt and fuse the enamel, resulting in a colourful, intricate design. The pieces you make can then be transformed into wearable art, small scale art objects or prototypes for future works.

*Some knowledge of enameling is required for this class.

*tweezers, scissors, and diamond files along with other necessary tools will be provided for the students to borrow during the class.
